Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates in Othaya constituency have received stationery to use during the exams courtesy of area MP Wainaina Michael Wambugu through the Wambugu Foundation.
Speaking during the issuance in his office, where he met with heads of institutions in the area, the MP said that the move is aimed at ensuring that no student lacks basic equipment during the exam period.
“We understand that some of the parents in our constituency have the challenge of affording important exam equipment like mathematical tables, calculators, geometrical sets and even pens and it is due to these reasons that through my foundation, we came up with the idea to buy every form 4 student sitting for KCSE these things to enable them do their exams efficiently,” he said.
