KCPE top performer receives cash reward as Daily Nation is roasted for perpetuating injustice against her

Goldalyn Kakuya scored the highest marks in 2017 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). The 14-year-old who is proudly living with albinism scored 455 out of the possible 500 marks.

Goldalyn sat for KCPE exams at St. Anne’s Junior School in Lubao, Kakamega. She has become the darling of many people because she defied prejudice against albinism to be Kenya’s top performer.

Daily Nation robs Goldalyn her top spot

Daily Nation newspaper has been but on the spot for perpetuating injustice against Goldalyn. The daily omitted Goldalyn’s name from their list of 2017 KCPE top performers.

Kenyans on Twitter are demanding apology from Nation for their omission. Some claim the Daily deliberately left out Goldalyn’s name.
