Diana Marua warns Morgan against saying KJSEA was easy yet results are not out
By Steve Ireri, November 26, 2025Socialite Diana Marua has urged her son Morgan not to join the bandwagon of people who are quick to claim that the KJSEA examination was easy, only for results to be released and leave them surprised.
Morgan, who Diana had recently transferred to a junior high school in Makueni, was among the at least 1,130,669 students who sat the 2025 KJSEA examinations in November.

Speaking in a video shared on their YouTube channel on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, Diana reminded her son of the responsibility that comes with making public statements about the examination, particularly when official results are yet to be announced.
“Easier than what? Please, Morgan, be mindful of what comes through your mouth. You said the exams were easy. Do not follow people or say things just for YouTube viewers to see. Just explain honestly how the exams were,” Diana said.
This came after Morgan reflected on his last days in school, describing the exams as easier than he had anticipated and saying he was sure he would post stellar marks.
“For me, I would say the exams were easier than I thought. I am telling you, the exams were easy, truly. Let me stop saying they were easy. Let me just say they were okay then. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate them 8.5 for ease,” Morgan said.
This saw Diana urging him to reconsider the tone of his remarks and advising him to be mindful of the wider audience and the impact of his words on peers and viewers.
She emphasised that honesty, rather than claims of ease, is the most responsible approach at this stage.
“If you say 8.5, then you mean nine. Are you sure nine out of ten?” Diana said.

Morgan then attempted to qualify his assessment, providing a scale of his personal experience to demonstrate why he had measured confidence.
He recalled that before KJSEA, they had many internal exams, all of which he performed well on.
He explained that while subjects such as mathematics had previously been challenging, he had shown significant improvement over the course of multiple internal tests, achieving marks that far exceeded his earlier attempts.
“You know, Mum thinks I was not prepared for the exams because of another scenario that happened a couple of years back. But you see, we had many internal exams in school before the KJSEA, and I was always exceeding expectations. We did over nine exams before the national one, and in all those, I was consistently in the category of students who exceeded expectations. I am confident that I have done well,” Morgan said.
