Senator Khalwale's child's KCSE results

Gift Atubukha Khalwale scored a mean grade of B+ (Plus).

Khalwale attributed the feat to the girl's family and teachers at St Brigid High School where she wrote her examination.

"Congratulations, Gift Atubukha Khalwale! I want to thank my family, the entire St Brigids High School-Kiminini fraternity, and above all, God for supporting my little Tubu to this milestone," said Khalwale on X, formerly Twitter.

In 2022, Khalwale was on Twitter again celebrating double milestones after two of his children shined in the 2021 KCSE test.

The former lawmaker took to Twitter to celebrate the good results posted by his children.

"Celebrating twin blessings! My family and I thank God together with the teaching and non-teaching staff of Alliance Girls High School and Kakamega High School," wrote Khalwale.
