Grades did not deter Walibora’s path to successThere is obviously no lesser death but some deaths, more than others, descend with added malice and clearly drive a stake in the heart of society. I knew Walibora since our days at Koelel High in the 1980s where we were in the same “A” Level class. That was before the quota system of admission to high school was enforced, limiting the exposure of students to colleagues from other parts of the country. Ken had come by way of Olekejuado High School but he was from Trans Nzoia, Cheranganyi to be exact. Indeed grades are an unreliable measure of success in life, as the lives of greats such as Prof Ali Mazrui and Prof Calestous Juma, both of whom didn’t hold stellar high school grades, clearly show.
