Ashley narrated that her experience in school was tough, having been sent home on multiple occassions for lack of school fees.
She expressed her gratitude to one of her mother's friends and the Embakasi East legislator for facilitating her studies through the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) bursaries.
"Thank you so much Babu Owino. Especially during the Covid-19 period, we were not in school and I used to follow your online classes. Thank you for also helping my sister who is in university. You provided her with bursaries. You have helped us a lot.
"Continue helping us, as I join university, I hope you continue to be by my side. May God bless you as you help others as well," Ashley gratified.
The first time MP hit the headlines during the pandemic, taking learners across the country through online classes, a gesture that was widely lauded by the media and the Ministry of Education.
