The top student in Coast region who scored 420 marks in KCPE will smile her way into high school after Jomvu MP Badi Twalib promised to sponsor her education.

Lissa,15, the second born in her family and who dreams to become an aeronautical engineer, would love to join Kenya High School in Nairobi county.

Lissa who was a student at Amani Primary school, Mikindani  was worried that her mother could not afford to take her to secondary school due to fees problems. She was afraid of following the footsteps of  her elder sister, who scored 370 marks in KCPE exam but could not join the school she was selected to join for lack of school fees.

Her mother is a housewife.

Speaking at Mombasa's Moi international airport, Jomvu Mp Ba di Twalib said the girl has made him proud for being among the top students in the 2021 KCPE examinations from his backyard. 

The MP said he will not only cater for the four-year school fees in secondary, but all other requirements including transportation to and from the school she will join.

"Lisa has made me proud. I will  take care  of her needs and ensure she joins the  university of her choice in the country." said Twalib.
