Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has come to the aid of an eight-year-old student from Syipei in Narok County who was photographed wearing a leso while her teacher was sewing her torn school uniform.
Sonko on Wednesday, May 10 bought a new pair of uniform and shoes for the student and cleared her school fee arrears.
He also converted her from a day scholar to a boarding student so that she cannot struggle and promised to sponsor her education until she completes primary school.
The former county boss further sent Ksh 25,000 to the student for shopping and gave her pocket money.
