A teacher, Kepha Ng’ang’a who lost his job in the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), has come out to appeal for help from the former President Uhuru Kenyatta citing that he taught him Kiswahili.
According to the teacher in 2002 when he was working in Gatundu, he polished Uhuru’s speeches after he was approached by the Late Permanent Secretary (PS) Wamatu Njoroge.
Based on reports, the teacher met the PS during a prize giving ceremony in the school where he taught, impressing the PS with his mastery of the Kiswahili language.
He further explained that the Former president, was eloquent in English and his vernacular language, Kikuyu but his skills in speaking Kiswahili were yet to match up.
Ng’ang’a narrated that he and Uhuru met up every evening for forty five minutes during the campaign period since September to December for the lessons to improve the former Head of State's address to Kenyans.
However, Ng’ang’a narrated that he lost his job within the TSC owing to the fact that he joined the campaigns.
He noted that he appealed the decision to the commission to reinstate him, an appeal which was not taken to account over his involvement in politics.
Ng'ang'a is now requesting for audience with the former President citing that he is unable to cater to his needs since the loss of his job.
“ I live in a two roomed house and I am unable to sustain my children in school. I have also been struggling to place food on my table as I am barely making ends meet,” stated Ng'ang'a
The teacher noted that he is now working in a private school in the country which he cites as meagre earnings.
However, this is not the first time that he is seeking audience with Uhuru after other attempts have proven unsuccessful.
The teacher has pledged to continue seeking audience with the former President until he catches his attention.
In a separate matter, a few weeks ago, the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua met with a lady who was a caretaker to his late father celebrating her devotion towards taking care of him.
