Okenyuri dazzled in a fitting uniform as she visited the girls’ school, showing that she could easily relate to them.
“I had the honour of attending the Education Day of St. Mark's Mokorogoinwa Secondary School in Masimba ward, Nyaribari Masaba constituency. This special occasion was dedicated to celebrating the excellence of students in both academic and co-curricular activities while recognising their hard work and talent.
The awards given to students play a pivotal role in the school’s efforts to motivate learners, inspire creativity, and encourage healthy competition. Furthermore, recognising their efforts makes them feel valued and inspires them to reach their full potential,” part of her post read.
How was Okenyuri welcomed by teachers?
She shared a video on her TikTok channel showing her arrival at the school, where she was warmly welcomed by staff members.
They were stunned by her youthful appearance in the clean, well-fitting school uniform.
The teachers warmly shook her hand and introduced themselves before leading her to the venue of the highly anticipated occasion.
How does Esther Okenyuri donate books in high schools?
She easily blended into the programme and the company of students, who loved her energy and youthful look, which helped her connect with them.
“In supporting the school’s efforts and through the Mchakato wa Usomi Programme, I donated books that will be crucial in keeping the reading culture alive. I look forward to next year’s Education Day so we can once again celebrate the students’ efforts. Congratulations once again to last year’s class for the exemplary performance,” she added.
Okenyuri shared several photos of herself enjoying the event, including dancing with the girls.
She was all smiles as she interacted with the lively students, who were thrilled by her presence. They crowded around her, eager to greet her and show their appreciation.
Jane Murimi Mugo, a teacher told TUKO.co.ke the senator's way to promote education was unique as it helped students bond well with her.
"There is a reason why it is called a uniform, like unity and formality. It is like equity and equality. There is sameness. Students can identify with her easily and even her dressing can be a mirror to what and who they want to become in future. She is a senator in a uniform so the students can also visualize themselves as being as successful in life like her when they finish school. It is a unique and admirable way to encourage students," she said.
