Mr. Njuguna noted that the young man studied through high school with mjengo money and had performed exemplarily well in his KCSE results, posting an A.
“We’ve come here because of this young man called Peter Gachina. The people of mjengo are very happy because this boy has done us well and gotten an A,” he said.
Expressing his delight, in his gratifying speech, Mr. Njuguna noted that Peter Gachina was surely heading to the university for further studies.
“He’s been schooled by ‘mjengo money’ and we are so happy because he’s a University material. Me being one of them and their pastor they’re delighted to celebrate this achievement,” added Mr. Njuguna.
The father however did not disclose the school where Peter Gachina studied. The family comes from Ruiru and they pleaded with local leaders to help their son pursue his dreams.
