Nairobi Governor Ann Kananu has rewarded Bruce Mackenzie Magata, the 14-year-old who emerged top nationally in the 2021 KCPE exams as she revealed that his mother, Brenda Makori, is a worker at the Nairobi City County Government.
Magata, who was a pupil at Gilgil Hills Academy, scored 428 marks.
Governor Kananu hosted Magata at City Hall, Nairobi on Monday together with his family where his mother has been working in the Trade Department for the last 10 years.
Speaking during the brief ceremony, Kananu congratulated Magata and rewarded him with a cash token for his great performance in the national exams.
“I wish him and others who performed well in the national exams the best of luck in their studies. His performance is an example to candidates, they should emulate him in order to strive for excellence,” stated Kananu.
His mother has thanked Governor Kananu for rewarding his son and appealed to the county boss to promote her at work, a request the Governor promised to fulfill.
Magata on his side said he wishes to join Alliance High School and later pursue robotics engineering studies.
“I want to join Alliance and later study robotics engineering. I want to thank my dad and mum for supporting me throughout my studies,” said a jubilant Magata.
