Mechanic with Mean
grade of ‘A’ plain appeals for help to join school of medicine.
A 22-Year-Old man from Alego Usonga Constituency who has
been working as a mechanic in Nakuru County has appealed to any well-wisher to
consider helping him join University so as to study medicine.
Moses Oduor who sat his Kenya Certificate of Secondary
Education {KCSE} in the year 2015 at Sawagongo High school says he has not join
the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology because he lack
school fees.
Addressing the press in Kisumu where he met Alego Usonga
Member of Parliament Samuel Atandi during a meeting where he explained his
predicament to the MP, Oduor said he has been working as a mechanic in Nakuru
Town and stays in Kabazi area after he failed to join the school of medicine at
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology after his admission.
Oduor who is a total orphan says he used to stay with her maternal
grandmother but opted to look for manual jobs in Nakuru where he started with
doing odd jobs like working at the construction site as a helper to foreman
while earning a paltry shs 250 a day.
He adds that he was doing this so as to enable him survive and also take care of her grand mother back at home.
He says he worked at various construction sites in Nakuru
town before embarking on going to work as a mechanic where he has been for now
nine months since he left his work as a helper of the foreman in the
construction site where both private and rental residential houses were built.
“My desire is to go back to school and study medicine which
I have been yearning to complete and become a doctor upon completion,” Oduor
says.
He says if he can get support from anywhere then he is very
much willing to go back and study at the University level.
Alego Usonga Member of Parliament Samuel Atandi says he has
learnt the young man’s plight after being highlighted in one of the local
dailies on Sunday.
Atandi says he has been moved by his ordeal especially after
realizing that the man lost his admission letter to the University, adding that
he has already contacted the Kenya Universities and Colleges place Unit so as
to give him another letter of admission so as to help him join University this
year.
“I actually had to look for this young man after his plight
has been highlighted in one of the local daily Newspapers and their Bureau
office managed to provide his contacts. I called and told him to come and meet
me after I sent him some money to come to Kisumu so that we can see how we can
help him go back to school,” Atandi says.
Atandi says the young man has hinted to him that he can go
back to school and study medicine or electrical engineering, adding that he is
already initiating a process of ensuring that he gets another calling letter.
Atandi has said he will do all he can so as to help the young man pursue his higher education.
