Musyoka has been doing well in his studies, according to Kathonzweni AIC Boarding Primary School Head Teacher Benjamin Nungu, but he has outdone himself in the KCPE exams.
“I thank God for the good results. Musyoka has been a hard working boy and well behaved and that is why he has done well in the national examinations,” said Nungu.
