It is yet another time that the vocal Senator is celebrating his child’s good performance in national examination.
An examination period rarely goes without the Senator having at least one child who was among the candidates.
This is an observation some of the Twitter users who congratulated the legislator also mentioned.
“Hey Mr.? Every KNEC exams release uko na mtoto mwenye amepata 400+, anyway congratulations to you and her, let's wait for December,” read one of the replies.
“How many children do you have sir,you have been celebrating every year,” said another Twitter user.
Ivy Cherop on her part said, “Boni Khalwale once again this is our year congratulations, Melissa. We are waiting for such good results again come December.”
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha announced the 2021 KCPE results on Monday where Magata Bruce Mackenzie from Gilgil Hills Academy emerged top with 428 marks out of the possible 500.
Makini School’s Momanyi Arshely Kerubo was second with 427 marks.
