He was hoping that with the free education policy implementation announced by the Uhuru Kenyatta led government, his daughter could also further her education with ease.

However, it all turned anticlimax when he arrived at the school with his daughter, having bought al the necessary materials and utensils for her following her 319 score in the 2017 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE).

According to reports Chale collapsed and vomited as soon as the principal mentioned the figure to him, and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
