The story was about Kelvin' Ochieng', a young man who had ended up homeless on the rough streets of Nairobi after graduating with a first-class honours in actuarial science.
In Kenya, many young people work hard at their studies and excel, only to find that their certificates are meaningless.
At the time of the interview, Ochieng' was just one of many other young people scrambling for casual work, for example washing cars in the CBD.
In places like Mathare, many young people without even half of his level of education have to grapple with harsh daily realities.
But I would suggest that the story should not have stopped there: it should have been understood as a case study that reflected the problems many young Kenyans face.
