Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s nominee for the Environment docket, Sonia Birdi, has defended her poor Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) grade.
Speaking during a vetting exercise by a Nairobi County Assembly Committee, Ms. Birdi says her D+ KCSE mean grade should not be used to shoot down her appointment by Governor Sonko.
Ms. Birdi argues that the poor grade does not mean she’s is a failure, stating that she is committed to serving Nairobi residents.
“That D+ in my paper is not a failure but what I am bringing on the table.”
“If I was not positive on the change I want to make, I wouldn’t have applied for the position,” states Birdi who sat for her KCSE exam at Loreto Convent, Msongari.
The former United Republican Party (URP) nominated MP was put to task to explain how she would perform her duties given that she has no experience in environmental matters.
Birdi reportedly holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from D. R. College in India and a second undergraduate degree in Business Administration from the University of Sheffield in the UK.
She however did not provide her bachelor’s degree, explaining that she lost the papers after her house was burgled while living in the UK.
She told the team that she is still single because no man has proposed to marry her.
She has promised to clean up Nairobi city if approved to take up the position.

The 4 years final exams are overall meaningless. Kenya should know focus on cumulative test scores including the end of terms exam to come up with final grades. They should also implement on personal discipline as a subject. Not forgetting Mandarin for all to undertake our 2nd economy liberators the Chinese ?

Except for the fact that…
Except for the fact that Indian community in Kenya do not see themselves as Kenyan, they barely leave parklands, they only mingle lately at Blanket and Wine with the cool kids. I have never seen them mingling eslewhere, they still pledge allegiance to India or guru nanak ,they still follow their caste system to the T and you my brother, you are untouchable!. I have friends who are Indian and even when in Kenya they rarely invited me to their houses yet they would freely come to mine. Weuwe, she may have been born in Kenya, but not sure if she feels Kenya 100%.Even huku majuu Kenyan Mhindi barely acknowledges your deep shithole as their birth country. I know one with a shop in MD and until she heard me speaking swahili sengenyaring her is when she pretended but it was a short lived small talk because thereafter when I went to her shop for Cheflas ,she barely spoke to me
Given that you hate abroad…
Given that you hate abroad so much I would think you would do all you can to avoid your kids living a abroad. And when that time comes then you will figure it out but until then everyone is entitled to their opinion. That lady should be in Punjab and if that affects you to a point you think your dear ones won’t be let in because of an opinion go leak your wounds elsewhere.

Tusiwabague hawa ndugu na dada zetu kutoka India ambao wameamua kuja kuishi nasi katika nchi ya Kenya. Tusiwe na ubaguzi kama Wanayuropa ambao ubaguzi wao wa rangi na jinsia, uko karibu kuwaangamiza.
