A 15-year-old boy who sat the 2014 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams at Kongoni Primary School in Likuyani sub-county, Kakamega County and scored 401 marks has offered to sell his kidney to raise fees for secondary school.

This was the second time Benjamin Wanjala, from Furfural village, was doing KCPE exams. He first faced them in 2013, together with his older sister, and scored 372 marks. But he offered to repeat Standard Eight so his sister, who scored 282, could go to Form One.
