Nuru Okanga Joins Form One: Kenyans have applauded the move by ODM diehard Nuru Okanga after the politician decided to join form one after completing his KCPE exams last year.
According to reports, Nuru Okanga joined St Aquinas Ebuchinga Day School in Kakamega County. The vocal politician said that his delayed admission was due to social responsibilities he was engaged in since the schools were opened.
Despite reporting late, he lauded the principal for welcoming him with open arms, adding that the school would accord him ample opportunity to learn, keep up with the day-to-day politics and spend time with his family.

“People kept enquiring whether I would join Form One but I stated that I was providing support to other students by providing books and pens and now finally I’m set to join.”
Nuru Okanga has also revealed how he will handle the pressure of being a family man and his studies by creating a balance of the two saying that he will speak with the principal about it.
“I have decided to join day school since I must maintain my responsibility to my family. We’re supposed to be released at 6:00 pm but I will plead with the principal to leave by 4:00 pm so that I can also tend to matters of politics and also spend time with family.”

Wherever you are, know that I have joined Form One at a time when the economy is hard so cater to my needs and pay my fees and rent for a full year.”
