In a bold admission, renowned political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has revealed he was not a ‘clever’ student.
Mutahi says he was always position 38 out of 39 in class, but that did not stop him to be what he is. Writing on Twitter, Mutahi adds that in real life, the ‘C’ students help the ‘A’ students get employed by the ‘D’ students.
He says Chris Kirubi is clear testimony.
To the ‘D’ students at KCSE: I was always no.38 out of 39. In real life,the ‘Cs’ help the ‘As’ get the jobs from the ‘Ds’. Ask Chris Kirubi!

The political analyst got some unexpected backing from Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko. He says that ‘D’ students are not necessarily failures and should be encouraged.
I agree with Mutahi Ngunyi, getting a D in KCSE doesn’t mean you have failed in life. D students should be encouraged instead. Musikufe moyo
