Alaru Mixed Secondary School in Homa Bay County was left stunned yesterday when a former star pupil, Achieng Jovin Trezzy, returned to plead for a chance to repeat Form Four — or even Form Three — after failing to join university due to financial constraints.Achieng, who scored a strong B in the 2024 KCSE and lives with her grandmother in Kokoth Village, Karachuonyo Constituency, had secured a placement at Egerton University to pursue Education. However, she could not take up the opportunity due to lack of school fees.Driven by boredom and depression while at home, the determined young woman approached her former school hoping to improve her grades and attract well-wishers to sponsor her education. She also inquired about enrolling and waiting for government funding through JAB, but was informed that every new student must pay fees upfront — an impossible demand for her grandmother.Her former teachers revealed that Achieng had already accumulated a significant fee balance during her previous years at the school due to her family’s financial struggles. Moved by her vulnerability and strong desire to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher, the school has generously agreed to waive her outstanding fees.The teachers have now launched an appeal to well-wishers and kind-hearted Kenyans to support Achieng so she can resume her studies and realise her ambition.

Those calling for a cut in the Road Maintenance Levy to lower fuel prices are missing the point. The problem is not the levy itself, but the fact that almost 50% of it has already been securitized. Under Uhuru, the RML was KES 18 per litre, generating KES 86B annually to maintain 21,826 km of paved roads at about KES 3.9M per km.
This administration increased the levy to KES 25 per litre, pushing collections to KES 115B a year. But in February 2025, the government securitized KES 7 of that levy for the next 10 years. Then in November 2025, Cabinet approved securitizing an additional KES 5 without parliamentary approval, prompting MPs to call it a constitutional overreach.
That means out of the KES 115B collected for road maintenance every year, KES 47B now goes to servicing debt, leaving only KES 68B to maintain 25,412 km of paved roads. That translates to KES 2.7M per km today, down sharply from KES 3.9M per km under Uhuru.
Fellow Kenyans, the levy is unlikely to come down because it has already been pledged away for a decade. So as the potholes get bigger, you either work harder, or steal harder, and buy yourself a bigger car.
