Kenya's youngest Reverend, Victor Githu, has clarified on reports that he scored 227 marks in the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations.
Speaking during an interview with Mungai Eve, Githu stated that he did not sit for the 2021 KCPE exams in March 2022 and neither did he score 227 marks as reported on various social media platforms.
Githu revealed that he is currently a Grade 6 pupil and he is yet to sit for the national exams. Asked whether he was bothered by the rumours, he noted that critics only have negative things to say about good people.
The young preacher stated that he was shocked when he started getting calls and messages from people congratulating him over the his KCPE performance.
"I was wondering when I became a candidate and when I sat for KCPE. People are just spreading rumours that Victor got 227 marks. I did not sit KCPE and if I did, I know God would have favoured me. I am blessed with wisdom," Githu stated.
"I told God I do not care about what people say. I am more concerned about what God says about me. People were calling saying congrats Victor you received 227 and I was just shocked. But I know it is God.
"I am in Grade 6. Do not believe such things and there is nothing like that. I did not sit for the KCPE, I don't even know what KCPE looks like. Even if we check the list, you won't find me there," he added.
Githu stated that although people were criticizing him, he believes God will fight for him. He added that he is highly favoured and he knows that when he sits for the KCPE exams, he will be among the top students in the country.
The young pastor noted that he does well in school and he is preparing to sit for the national exams when his time comes.
"I perform excellently in school and I thank God that I am highly blessed. I don't need anyone to tell me I am smart, I already know that I am smart. If I sat for that KCPE, I would have gotten 400 marks. I would be the top leading student," Githu remarked.
He stated that critics do not faze him because at such a young age, he knows who he is and people should wait for him to do the exams and see the results for themselves.
"You will see me on the TV and you will call me congratulating me on the results," he added.
