The decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta to call for administering of supplementary KCPE exams to those who missed in 2017 may have revived hopes of a rape victim.
Nelly (not her real name), missed the November exams after she was allegedly abducted by people known to her and repeatedly raped in different occasions at the time her fellow classmates in Gesima Primary in Nyamira were sitting for exams.
"They were three days of mental torture , fear and anguish,'" sh narrated the Standard reporter after rescue.
With the first suspect having raped her, she would later on fall prey to a person believed to be a close relative who abducted and fled with her to Nakuru for two days.
But the announcement by President Kenyatta has once again restored her hope of joining Alliance Girls, her dream school should she optimize on the second chance.
" I am grateful that I will seat for the supplementary exams. It is something that I never saw coming especially after missing exams," she said.
According to Keroka OCS Mohammed Bonaya says one of the suspect has since been arrested with the second one said to have dodged detectives.
