Ghafla Exclusive: Government Responds To Claims That Otonglo Boy’s Mum Was Detained and He Still Owed His Former High School 18, 000 Kshs in Fees
Otonglo Boy first burst into the limelight when he left the president in stitches thanks to his well presented and extremely hilarious narrative.
Soon after that, he became a favorite of the president and he was soon sponsored by the president enabling the boy from a humble background to complete school.
This morning, shocking news reached us from the Standard newsroom, news that Otonglo’s mum had been detained at a hospital after she was unable to clear the hospital bill. What’s more, Otonglo Boy allegedly still owed his Highway secondary 18,000 Kshs in arrears.
We spoke to Dennis Itumbi, the Director of Digital Communication in the Office of the President of the Republic of Kenya to find out what was going on in the Otonglo front.

“We Paid for her (Otonglo’s mum) to be admitted and cleared the whole bill and there is no single balance until the boy clears form four unlike what the papers claim. “ he says, before adding that “When it comes to his mum, we have been in the process throughout since she was admitted till she was discharged. And if you do not believe that we cleared the fees, Highway Secondary school is close to town you can always go and confirm. But I assure you we do not owe Highway Secondary even a single coin”
“The story is simply not true, go to Highway and check, if there is a balance by all means run that story” he concludes.
