This is the true story of Tusker defender Christopher Oruchum when he was a Chavakali High school student in 2014. The entire KCSE results of the school were cancelled as the education mandarins and the government came down strong on examination cheating. Oruchum, not only took the setback on his chin but went on to pass the very next year and join university and is now enrolled for a Masters degree at the University of Nairobi. "It was obviously the toughest test of my life — to go back to school having already started playing in the league in 2015 — following cancellation of exam results for the whole school (Chavakali class of 2014)," Oruchum recalls. "But I took it all in my stride with the support of my parents, club and the school and did the exams and now I can say my patience has paid off."
