Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru’s son, Roy Waiguru, was among students from Brookhouse International School who won a scholarship following a competition.<\/p>\n

Students from the school were competing with learners from Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and Zimbabwe during the University of Dundee\u2019s African Schools Mooting Competition 2021.<\/p>\n

The competition saw each team member of Brookhouse International School win a \u00a3100 (Ksh 15,010) voucher and a scholarship of \u00a35,000 (750, 505) per annum should they apply and be accepted to one of Dundee\u2019s LLB programmes.<\/p>\n

Waiguru congratulated her son for the achievement and indicated that the young minds would soon be a force to reckon with in Kenya.<\/p>\n

“So proud of my son Ron and his teammates for the outstanding performance at African Schools Mooting Competition 2021.<\/p>\n

“Senior counsel Fred Ngatia, Ahmednasir Abdulahi and Donald Kipkorir, watch out, the future is here,” Waiguru added.<\/p>\n

The competition had 13 teams. Each made a case against an opposing counsel and before two judges.<\/p>\n

“They were asked to make submissions in a fictitious civil law appeal before the United Kingdom Supreme Court,” reads an excerpt of a press release from the University of Dundee.<\/p>\n

Victoria Gichuki, Teacher of Law at Brookhouse Schools, indicated that the competition gave a valuable opportunity to hone both their written and oral advocacy skills, which the students enjoyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were elated and extremely proud of their achievement when they received the news of their win during the prize-giving ceremony. We applaud our students for a job well done and look forward to the next competition,” Gichuki stated.<\/p>\n

The team from Tema International School (TIS) in Ghana were named runners-up, with Chisipite Senior School in Zimbabwe finishing in third place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
