Daniel Owira, the young man who won the heart of President Uhuru Kenyatta and the First Lady Margaret Kenyatta in the famous'Otonglo Time' has finally scored a decent C+ required for university entry at the KCSE results announced on 3rd March by Dr. Fred Matiangi, the CS for Education. This has put President Uhuru Kenyatta set to be a parent at a university soon.
Owira of the Highway Secondary School captured the imagination of the nation with his narrative in Mombasa during the 2013 annual Kenya Schools, Colleges and University Festival. He claimed, in his play, to be Silvester Ogwang' Pumbe who hailed from 'Nyanzoi Village'. His talent endeared the President to commit to paying his school fees till the end of his pedagogy journey.
"I have today offered full education sponsorship up to the university level to Daniel Owira when he visited me at State House. He is now one of my sons and will give me his report forms at the end of every term," read Uhuru's update on his facebook page after hosting the talented boy at State House Nairobi in May the same year.
"I know my future is secured because l tried my best and l am happy with the results.I thank the president so much for all the support," said a delighted Daniel Owira who wants to pursue Broadcast Journalism in future.
Owira was planning to have a small celebration organized for his teacher Cliff Nyakwar Dani after the completion of the IT Diploma lessons he is pursuing at a Highland State College sponsored by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Finally, the results went on to prove that one can be talented and active in co-curricular activities and still excel academically.
Daniel Owira and I went to the same school. I actually taught him while I was in campus during one of the long holidays (Further notices)
