Madam you are a disgrace to all Mothers of this great Nation and the honourable thing to do is to go home.

Spencer revealed how he had directly handled the finances and how looting of public funds had turned one of Kenya’s youngest public universities into ‘a cartel of thieves’.
“What caught my eye is when my VC began saying- I need funds to go look for more funds for the university in form of cash. I would ask…why don’t we pay them by cheque? She would tell me …you still don’t know how gov’t works”

Spencer collaborated with four of his colleagues to expose the rot in the institution.
However, Walingo has already responded to the accusations stating that anyone implicated in the heist should be ready to face the full force of the law.
