Cartels squander 5 million Moi University students money when they thought they were paying fees

Over 500 students from Moi University are decrying the loss of their money when they realised they were duped into thinking they were covering their tuition fees.

“We received text messages informing us about students who were awarded bursaries but had already cleared their fees. They told us they would use the funds to clear our fees instead….,” narrated one student.

“Everything was right, you were able to sign the nominal role, print the exam card, basically everything you needed to do because your fee was cleared, but when you go to sit for your exam you are told that your bursary was reversed.”

The victims of the scam are said to have been approached by fellow students working under instructions from unnamed top officials in the finance department, a Citizen TV report states.

The cartel have already swindled Sh5 million by the time students realised it was a scam.

While the university administration has blamed the students for failing to follow the provided guidelines on fee payment, questions still abound as to how a trusted Moi University online portal was manipulated to the level of enabling and showing incorrect details.

However, two officials have since been suspended from the institution with the administration beginning investigations.
