There was nothing spectacular four years ago in the family of a security guard in Murang’a when his third born son scored what everybody thought was an unimpressive 278 marks.

“I was very frustrated when I sat my KCPE at Muthangari Primary School and got 278 marks. I wanted to repeat but my father refused. He said there was no money and I was better off attending a local day school,” recalls Josphat Mwangi Kamau.
