The former Mombasa governor shared the experience while reflecting on his journey from struggling with school fees to becoming one of the country's senior government officials.
Joho explained that his poor performance was not because he lacked intelligence but because his parents could not afford to pay his school fees.
He revealed that financial difficulties became so serious that he missed an entire school term because his family could not raise the money needed to keep him in school.
The Cabinet Secretary said his experience was a painful reminder of how poverty can interfere with a child's education and limit opportunities.

His journey from struggling to pay school fees to holding a senior government position has become the main point of his message, showing how difficult beginnings do not necessarily determine someone's future.
Joho also praised President Ruto for the efforts his administration is making to ensure that children do not miss out on education because their parents cannot afford school fees.
He expressed support for initiatives aimed at giving young people access to learning opportunities regardless of their family backgrounds.
. Through his personal story, Joho delivered a message of hope to young people facing similar difficulties, showing that a difficult start in life does not have to define their future.
