Lawrence Murimi, a former Kangaru High School student whose story once touched many Kenyans, is finally celebrating after performing well in the 2025 KCSE examinations.
Murimi first went viral several years ago when he reported to school as a Form One student carrying a cock, pleading with the school administration to accept it as part payment of his school fees. The emotional moment spread widely on social media, drawing sympathy and support from Kenyans across the country.
At the time, many people praised his determination to get an education despite coming from a very humble background.
Years later, that determination has paid off.
Murimi’s good KCSE performance was confirmed by JCM Bishop Benson Gathungu Kamau, who has been supporting him financially throughout his secondary school education. The bishop stepped in after Murimi’s story went public and ensured he stayed in school without being sent home over fees.
News of Murimi’s success has sparked excitement online, with many Kenyans congratulating him and applauding the bishop for standing by him. Others have described the story as proof that hard work, discipline, and support can change a child’s life.
The release of the 2025 KCSE results has seen celebrations across the country, as students from different schools share their achievements after four years of hard work.
Murimi’s journey continues to inspire many, especially students facing financial challenges, reminding them not to give up on their dreams.
