When Shalyn Moraa Nyakea emerged the ninth best student in this year’s KCSE examination, there was a wave of optimism among heads of the institution.
Index number one at the school, Wairimu Miano, also scored a straight A of 82 points.
Moi Girls High School, Nairobi, a school that has been mired in controversies in the past one year, is banking on the achievement of its top candidates in this year’s KCSE examination to turn a new leaf.
After a fire tragedy in September 2017 that killed 10 girls, and allegations of rape in June, after which school principal Jael Mureithi went on early retirement, the school has been experiencing testing times.
