Jalang’o: I watched my dad cry after being rejected at Maseno

Comedian Jalang’o has opened up of how he got rejected at Maseno High school despite being chosen to join the school.

According to Jalang’o he had attained the required marks but couldn’t report to the school since because of lack of fees.

Upon reporting late after finally raising the required amount, the principal of the school chased them away

“Maseno school…let me tell you a short story…When I sat for my KCPE I got a chance at Maseno school by luck because with 442 Marks I think I was lucky…I was soo happy just like everyone because a chance at Maseno school was all you needed! This dream was not to be! School fees was nowhere! My dad ( God Rest hi soul in peace) organised several fund drives and by the time he was getting the money I was two weeks late from reporting day!” Wrote Jalang’o in part.

He went on:

“My chance was gone! We walked with my dad out of the school after hours of pleading to be allowed in, the principal refused! I had never seen my dad cry but that day we cried together! We walked to the main road got in a Marathi and went home! I later joined form one in a different school but with Maseno school uniform because my old man could not afford another pair! So for the whole of form one I was in a different uniform in a different school…to cut the long story short, today I was at Mseno school advising and giving wisdom to their class of 2018! Once again GOD WINS!”
