Bishop Margaret Wanjiru on Friday offered to pay first term fees for KCPE top candidate Faith Mumo who scored 433 marks out of a possible 500. Margaret said she was touched by the story of the girl’s father, Paul Mumo, who lost his job due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a recent interview, Paul said he had to relocate back to the village after things became tough. He then drafted a study timetable that Mumo adhered to diligently, helping her emerge first countrywide.
