Nuru Okanga, Raila Odinga’s staunch supporter, recently revealed facts about his youth and the circumstances that led to him dropping out of school almost two decades ago.
Okanga told NTV on Thursday, November 23, 2023, after the announcement of the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary School Education (KCPE) examination results, that he dropped out of school in class three due to the death of his father.
“In class three, I dropped out.” My father died while I was a child, and he had numerous wives. “We were a large family, and my mother couldn’t educate us all while feeding us,” the 32-year-old explained.
Okanga claims that despite his young age at the time, he was a clever youngster, and his absence from school severely affected the school’s head teacher, who even wept tears.
He claimed that he had addressed his reasons for leaving school to the principal, requesting assistance, but that there was limited support available owing to his large family.
“I dropped out of school in third grade because of the school uniform and books.” I succeeded in school and have been gifted since the dawn of time. “When I dropped out, the principal wept bitterly,” he recalled.
According to sources, Okanga sat for the 2023 KCPE examinations and received 401 out of a potential 500 points. These reports, however, have yet to be verified.
He claims to have taken the exams at Mumias Muslim Primary School in Kakamega County and stands by the results.According to sources, Okanga sat for the 2023 KCPE examinations and received 401 out of a potential 500 points. These reports, however, have yet to be verified.

“I intend to enroll at Alliance High School and have already found a sponsor.” “Just as the Principal goes to see his family on Friday and returns to school on Monday,” he explained.Several principals have approached him, inviting him to join their schools, but he has his heart set on Alliance High School.
