THE LOST 50-60 PAYHIKE DEAL

                                      TEACHERS LOSERS ONCE AGAIN.

It is not a rare occurrence for teachers to plan their infamous strikes closer to national exams later in the year. This they do deliberately to leave the government with nearly no options, except to agree to their, then salary demands. At such times closing the school indefinitely is normally not the best option.

It is appalling  how the issue of teachers pay can never be resolved by a sitting government once and for all. In one way or another they normally use this issue as a campaign strategy. Consequently teachers always find themselves in this pay rise impasse, to such an extend that even the teachers themselves use their own grievances to broker political deals. In which union officials use fellow teachers as political baits and so teachers end up being trapped in the cycle. Right from the infamous Nyayo regime to the equally evil digital regime.


The morass of teachers salary increase, seem not to wad off. It has become a political contrivance to the power brokers, union officials. As Chairman Mudzo Nzili loughs to the bank after his appointment to the NHIF and, Secretary general Wilson Sosion could have just secured something to fly him in his political ambition.

Se the collective bargain agreement signed lately is just another chapter in the cycle of teachers pay dispute. Yet this time teachers have incurred a massive loss in this evil trade. First, after undergoing that terrible financial dry-spell and intimidation by government, the 50-60 which was a creation of government itself, just died a natural death. Two, knut and kuppet brokers were smartly rewarded for playing ball with the government. Then the union dues that TSC had halted perhaps temporarily will now continue to be remitted to the Unions peacefully. A union that has been made derelict and irrelevant by the agreement. Of what use is a union when there is no possibility to rally members for an industrial action?. As it is . It would be more cost beneficial if the Union is disbanded. So that teachers are not pressed more to pay union dues. The union officials will be still laughing all the way to the bank on fa

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

THE STRUGGLE OF THE LUO NATION.

HOW THE LUO MANTLE NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY Although, Thomas Joseph Odhiambo Mboya was never among the Kapenguria six or the prominent Mau-mau fighters, who were passionate to defend their ancestral land to the last drop of their blood; he played the most fundamental role in the clamor for Kenya’s independence. His was an epic monumental activism that must have been the invisible force which pushed the imperialists to full conviction to relinquish African land.   The Kapenguria six were arrested by the colonial government as the luminaries of the Mau mau rebellion, and were incarcerated in Kapenguria for 9 years. Among the six was Ramogi Achieng Oneko. Who was born in Tienga village Uyoma sublocation, the year 1920. Alongside other Mau-mau fighters he is credited with the invincible feat of Kenyas independence in 1963, through his critical role in their uprising. The then prime minister, Jomo Kenyatta appointed him to the portfolio of minister for information, broadcas...

ELECTIONS ARE EVIL HENCE THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD

THE TROUBLE WITH KENYAN ELECTIONS The current legal stalemate bedeviling the country can be attributed to reluctance on the part of Kenyan institutions to adhere to the rule of law. The chief culprit is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the government. Jubilee party has merged with the state so that the country is not ruled by the Jubilee government but by the Jubilee party. The party even controlling an independent IEBC This diabolic precedence started way back in 2013 when Jubilee, not in a free and fair manner, rigged their way to statehouse.   The Supreme Court then did not make satisfactory findings, though the petitioner accepted the verdict. Since then the party had been choreographing another rigging scheme. Although democracy entails the decision of the majority to prevail, Jubilee has taken advantage to exercise tyranny. The government rules its own way independent of the wishes of the people. Even annihilating and trampling the law more o...
