President William Ruto has promised students who were involved in the botched Finland programme a local scholarship to further their studies.
Speaking to Eldoret residents, the head of state said his administration will work hand in hand with the authorities and help them once the investigations are over.
"Wakati uchunguzi utamalizika, ntaona vile tunaweza saidia wale wanafunzi waliohusika na hii matatizo. Hawa ni watoto wetu, tutawapanga vile tunaweza wapatia scholarship ya hapa nyumbani ili waendeleze masomo yao," he said.
This is loosely translated to; "When the investigations will be concluded, as a government, we will help the students who were to enrol in the programme to receive local scholarships so that they can fully further their studies. These are our children and they are innocent".
Ruto, however, warned those who allegedly stole millions from parents in the programme to return the money.
He said it was embarrassing and would not want such to happen again.
"It's embarrassing for anyone to steal money meant for the education of young people in Uasin Gishu. Those involved should carry their own cross," he said.
"If there is anyone who misused the money collected from parents let him organise to pay back."
He said some parents sold their assets including land and must be refunded.
Earlier on Wednesday, Uasin Gishu senator Jackson Mandago was arrested following alleged involvement in the saga.
He was among three other county officials in the spotlight over the Finland and Canada Overseas Education Programme.
A Nakuru court issued the arrest warrant on Wednesday, ordering the arrest of the senator to face various charges in court.
