Should a genuinely obtained higher degree nullify ‘failure’ at lower levels of schooling?
Recently, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho proudly told the nation that he was proud of his D-. His own senator is currently using the same politically. Exit the Coast and enter the capital city and you meet Senator Mike Sonko who fondly feels his single E is better than a string of Es of his political rival. I am assuming that the situations and grades in question were genuinely obtained. If that is so then are we over dramatising or are we politicising the issue of grades?
