Vocal political activist Nuru Okanga has dismissed rumours about his score in the recently concluded Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination results.

Did Nuru Okanga score 401 marks?

While appearing before the Milimani Law Courts on November 30, his defence attorney, Emmanuel Kibet, confirmed that his client had garnered 320 marks and not the rumoured 401.

According to the Nairobi News, the press was motivated to compel his lawyer to reveal the undisclosed results after Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina inquired about his educational background.

"What was your KCPE score?" Kibet inquired from the vlogger. In response, Okanga stated, "320 marks."

Nuru was charged with the alleged publication of demeaning and abusive information about President William Ruto in his attempts to criticise the government.

Azimio celebrates Okanga's KCPE Results

Despite failing to reveal his 'excellent results' then, the fierce Okanga said that the opposition leader gifted him money to celebrate his exemplary performance.

"Raila Odinga has sent me much money. On that, I cannot lie in front of the cameras. He sent me a good amount of money and told me to go and buy a cow and hold a great feast to celebrate my success, and I am planning to travel home to celebrate with my people," Okanga told NTV on Thursday, November 23.

Where did Nuru Okanga sit KCPE?

He sat the national examinations at Mumias Muslim Primary School in Kakamega county.

According to him, he dropped out of school when he was in Class Three nearly three decades ago, following the demise of his polygamous father.

However, with the encouragement of Roots Party leader, George Wajackoyah, he registered as a private candidate.

Okanga went to further his studies to fulfil his ambition of joining the political leadership in 2027.

"Many people are asking why I am doing these exams, but I want to tell them that everyone has their dreams and aspirations in life. In 2027, I will be on the ballot; my father died early, so I need to have this KCPE certificate to vie for the MCA seat," he said.
