Try and get another sponsor as much as possible
For the financial statement, it really doesn't matter how much you need to show rather you'll have to show how much you have. If they need $10K and you have $20K you'll provide a $20K one on the other hand if they need $10K and you have $2K that's all you can show
So to be safe, get a sponsor. BAHATI YA MWENZIO USILALIE MLANGO WAZI. You never know how the CO will handle you. Better safe than sorry

Welcome @Babycookie to the forum of champions
Yes, as advised by @Maggie.n you will need it sent direct to the embassy by KNEC
Visit National Bank and fill the KNEC forms, pay the amount and go with the slip plus a copy of your certificate to KNEC offices.
Start the process after you get your 2NL

I went to replace the "analog" passport so as to acquire the digital one. I was asked for birth cert among other documents. But they realised my last name on birth cert is different plus a spelling mistake on middle name.
In my birth cert i use: Nick Derick Omondi
In all other documents(Kcse, kcpe, national id, old passport) i use: Nick Derrick Chris.
Chris is my surname. Omondi is ethnic name given to me by grandma to mean "born in the morning".
I had a similar problem while applying passport back in 2017 at Nairobi, however, i just presented affidavit from commissioner of oaths and the officer accepted. I thought i would do the same this time but they refused. I was asked to change name on birth cert to Nick Derrick Chris.
I'm kinda stranded cause, this same birth cert i had given to KCC together wth other documents and is under process. So i feel changing it will interfere wth a lot of things. Moreover, i had added the name "OMONDI" on ds-260 as other given names.
Ladies and Gentlemen what should i do??? Help !
