Amanya Lisa Adhiambo, 15, who scored 420 in her KCPE exams at Amani Primary school, could not hide her joy, when she arrived at the Moi international airport ready to board a flight to Kisumu where she would reconnect to her secondary school for form one admission.

Speaking to journalists before taking her flight, paid for by the Jomvu Mp,Adhiambo  promised to work hard in her studies and produce good grades so that she can make her parents proud and better her future.

Adhiambo,who had lost her hope of joining secondary school due to lack of fees, expressed her joy to the legislator for coming to her aid.She also expressed her excitement that she will be flying to Kisumu for the first time in lifetime.

Lissa was worried that her mother could not afford to take her to secondary school due to fees problems. She was afraid of following in 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.

“I am very happy for the support I have received from our Mp to pay for my fees and shopping, I am also happy to travel by a flight, I have never thought I will take a flight, but I just want to thank the people who have come to my life,” said Adhiambo.

Jomvu Mp Badi Twalib who had accompanied the girl to Moi international Airport, in Mombasa said she has made him proud for being among the top students in the 2021 KCPE examinations from his backyard.

 “We didn’t  want her to miss the slot in the school she has been selected, therefore we have given her full sponsorship and to motivate her, I have said I will pay her a air ticket to Kisumu for her travel, then we have made arrangements how she will connect to her school.,” said Twalib.

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 dreams of becoming an engineer in the future.

“She made me very proud after becoming the best girl in the coastal region and because she comes from the constituency I lead, I feel she raised my face up,” said Twalib.

Twalib said his constituency under the sponsorship kitty has sponsored over 50 needy students to access information. He said he has prioritized education and will continue to give bursaries to needy students.

“I want to say that this girl has become a role model for others, and has shown us that she is able to lead, despite the fact that she comes from.
