Majority of Kenyans who attended the Jamhuri Day fete fail to secure Arizona free scholarships offered by President Ruto.
On Monday, December 12, there was confusion at Nyayo Stadium after the majority of Kenyans who attended the Jamhuri Day celebrations were unable to access the free scholarships announced by President William Ruto.
Ruto promised a scholarship with a sixteen-module course for entrepreneurs and innovators.
During the project’s unveiling, the president instructed those in attendance to scan a Quick-Response code to gain access to the scholarships.
Shortly after the announcement, Kenyans without smartphones found it difficult to access the online course.
They described how difficult it was to log in and register, which drove them to abandon the process, which they complained did not favor people without smartphones.
“I would love to know where these scholarships are being accessed, we heard it on television but I have not seen it,” a disgruntled Kenyan quipped.
“I have heard about the course but I have difficulty accessing it,” another complained.
On Sunday, December 11, President Ruto urged Kenyans to attend Jamhuri Day celebrations in huge numbers so as to enjoy the free University of Arizona scholarships.
“Every citizen who will come to Nyayo Stadium tomorrow will go back with a course paid for by the University of Arizona,” the president revealed.
During the Jamhuri celebrations, in the middle of his speech, Ruto intimated that he was now keeping his promise by announcing to Kenyans attending how to access the course.
“As promised, everyone present in this stadium today will get a free scholarship on global entrepreneurship and innovation from the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University.”
“It is now time to keep the promise. There is a QR Code near you. Scan and access the scholarship now,” the president announced.
Every Kenyan who attended the Jamhuri Day celebrations received free access to a Ksh100,000 16-unit course.
The Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University will provide the courses, which are designed to prepare students to navigate the dynamic digital world.
