By Deborah Hassan

A Kenyan teacher, Mwalimu Joshua Njenga, has marked the press statement released by the Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo-Addo, to announce the death of ex-President Jerry Rawlings, scoring him 5 out of 10 marks.

In a Twitter post, Njenga, after expressing his condolences to the country for the demise of her former president, said the press release was used as marking project for his class.

“Dear President Nana Akufo-Addo (@NAkufoAddo)
My students and I condole with Ghana.
We have, therefore, used your statement, on the death of Jerry Rawlings, for today’s marking project.
Here is how it looks after surgery.
Have a great day,” he tweeted.

He made detailed corrections on the document, noting in some places – “THE ART OF COMMUNICATION NOTES, death is sensitive, so we should choose our words carefully”, and adding “Ghana” after “President of the Republic.”
