Famed night runner Jack Songo has threatened to sue Education CS George Magoha and the Kenyan National Examination Council (Knec)for making him fail his national exams in 2019.
Songo, who hails from Homa Bay County, sat his KCSE in 2019 and got a C- but claims he would have performed better had he been allowed to sit the papers at night since “I am a nocturnal person.”
He says the creativity and productivity of a night runner’s brain is best at night and not in broad daylight like everyone else.
“I demand to sit exams at night. An expert night runner does not see well during the day. He sees clearly at night,” he said.
Songo, who made headlines in 2015 after he claimed to have founded a national lobby to safeguard the interests of night runners, says he will leave no stone unturned in his efforts to take action against Magoha and the exam council. He says he has enrolled to sit KCSE again next month.
