Kipkenyo Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) David Kimeli Letting, popularly known as Kokwas, has scored a D- (Minus) in the just-released Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results. Letting sat for his exams at Turbo Subcounty Private Center and received disappointing grades in most subjects.
In the results, Letting scored the following:
- Geography: E
- Chemistry: E
- English: E
- Mathematics: E
- Kiswahili: D- (Minus)
- Christian Religious Education (CRE): D- (Minus)
- Biology: C- (Minus)
This performance has attracted significant attention, particularly given Letting’s political role as an MCA, where education has often been a point of discussion.
Letting, who was elected as MCA for Kipkenyo Ward on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket, is currently serving his first term in office. He had previously faced criticisms questioning his academic credentials and educational background. Despite his academic struggles, he has continued to serve in his political capacity and has remained a prominent figure in local politics.
The news of his KCSE results is likely to reignite debates about the level of education required for elected officials, with many questioning whether academic qualifications should play a more prominent role in political leadership. However, Letting’s supporters have argued that his leadership ability and commitment to serving the people are what truly matter, regardless of academic performance.
As of now, Letting has not publicly commented on his results, but the outcome raises important questions about education, leadership, and public perception in Kenyan politics.
