3 storied building and Obbo has set up a\nstrategy of working there for at least 10 years in order to achieve his dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe make sure that the money\nis managed well so that when

creativity to minimize costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny challenge that comes we\ntry to make sure we minimize and get over it in a very creative way but it\u2019s\nvery challenging since the school is still incomplete to the desired level and\nstandards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor this year we have a\nbudget close to Shs50million to do the finishing and we must raise it because\nit\u2019s

the\nschool for the first year 2017 was able to sit 7 candidates for PLE and 5\ncandidates came in division one with the best getting aggregate 6, the rest in\ndivision two with aggregate 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Othieno encourages parents to\nbring their kids to the school since they are improving day by day and\naffordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Othieno says he works with his\nbrother Obbo mainly in terms of financial management, Strategy and Plan\nsetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two talk on a daily basis\nfor purposes of planning and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He believes that if they put\nin
