“My son was in Form Four three years ago. He came asking for money, saying a teacher in his school had asked for the cash. According to the teacher, the money was to be used in buying the students leaked KCSE papers. I told my son that I did not have the money, and that I was going to work for it. He insisted the money was needed urgently. I stood my ground, nonetheless,” CS Amina said.
