Manyani maximum prison officers expressed their happiness when they celebrated their children who scored more than 400 Marks in last year’s K.C.P.E. results for the first time since Manyani Public Primary School was established in the 1970s.
Officers say that in last year’s K.C.P.E examinations, their children scored very high marks with more than 30 candidates scoring above 300 marks contrary to what is in the Public that officers do not take their children to school.
Speaking to press, Solomon Koome who is Superintendent of Prison at Manyani Maximum Prison says that the public perception is that Officers children do not go to school or they perform poorly.
"I want to dispell the perception out there that our children can do well in examinations. as you have witnessed today our children too are not only going to school but are going well in their examination," said Koome.
Inspector Munga said it is not in vain to invest to their children in matters education adding that Manyani Maximum family also supports each other in matters education.
Manyani Public Primary School headteacher Rose Muiruri said the pupils would perform even better if challenges of human-wildlife conflict would be solved in the near future urging well-wishers to intervene so that their school could be fenced.
Register at Manyani Primary School indicates that more than half of the population of children is from the officers who work at Manyani Maximum Prison.
