Damaris Sobolo, Murcus Sakwa, Stanley Opicho from Marell Academy tied with Immaculate Baraka of Bungoma D.E.B and Evans Wanyama of St.Elizabeth Academy with 419 marks.

Omung’ala Valentine from Moi D.E.B primary also tied with Bravin Malaba from Chwele Academy attaining 418 marks.

Bungoma D.E.B Primary head teacher Mr. Tobias Khisa called on parents to invest more in education.

At the same time, Lwandanyi Primary School made history as it produced the first ever top pupil in Bungoma West Sub- County.

Christone Soita recorded 400 marks, topping the Sub County. The school has never produced a candidate with 400 marks and above for the last five years.

Meanwhile, Omung’ala Valentine from Moi D.E.B Primary School who scored 418 marks wants to be a pilot.

Hilda Nekesa Wekesa from the same school who also scored 403 marks learned through hardship and was most of the time supported by teachers.

According to Moi D.E.B Primary school head teacher KelfinWanyama the family is still in dire need of assistance and he called on well-wishers to step-in and support the girl advance her education.

Wanyama also lauded the determination of Michael Maganga Waka who did his exams after a prostrate operation and still managed to score 277 marks.

“He was bright and determined and would have performed better had he been healthy like the other pupils,” added the head teacher.
