It was pomp and color for Humphrey Rusugu of Maseno School after he garnered an A grade in the just released Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results
Rusugu emerged fifth countrywide in the examination the government rated as one that had minimal incidences of irregularities.
Rusugu attributed the sterling performance to hard work and complementary support from teachers and classmates and he hopes to join Nairobi University and pursue a degree in medicine.
There were also celebrations at Nakuru Boys High school too after five candidates scored A plain in the examination.
Nakuru High School, once among prestigious schools, is slowly rising from the doldrums to regain its position among academic giants.
