ENDING THE TORCHING OF SCHOOLS



MATIANGI THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB

The narrative that the burning of our schools is due to the stringent new rules imposed by cabinet secretary for ministry of Education, hon. Fred Matiang’i is a fallacy. So sad that former prime minister too, opted to apportion blame to the CS. It is absolutely preposterous to claim, a few rules the government incepted to curtail cheating and promote quality and standards of education is now the matchstick striking the schools ablaze.

When the former prime minister and proponents choose to coerce the government into restoring the old order of cheating as disproved by investigations into the sickening nationwide exam cheating, in last year’s examinations; You wonder if those against CS Matiang’i are really honest , or are just up  to gain some cheap political mileage. Politicizing the torching of schools is the worst mistake politicians and wannabes are making.

Extension of third term by just one week, restricting movements in and out of school by non-candidates and nullification of prayer meetings in third term, cannot incite such a zealous proclivity to burn schools. The students cannot be tired when it is only two weeks to go. It is hypocritical for religious leaders to claim that the outlawing of prayer meetings in schools is an attempt to lock God out of the whole process of examinations. Here I agree with CS Matiang’i, only the Pharisees would believe that they must pray in the school in order for God to make the candidates pass their exams. God is omnipresent and omnipotent, they can pray away from school. God will definitely hear and answer if they pray heartfully.

Though the problem in burning schools is partly due to indiscipline and lack of alternative avenues of communication by students and school management. The management is largely to blame. Even the reintroduction of corporal punishment alone cannot be enough, since it was initially proved to abet burning of schools. It all boils down to management even if we have to employ professional counsellors or force the head teachers to reside in schools.

It is almost likely that the cartels who over the decades have been surviving by pouring money to facilitate leakages as a lucrative money train, are fighting back. They could be working through, students, teachers, heads or boards of management.

 CS Fred Matiangi has made a prudent choice to eradicate these exam leakage cartels once for all. He needs applause and support, and the same should be replicated in corruption and other national vices. He is the man for this job. There is absolutely no need to close schools and interrupt learning, when only last September, learning was interrupted for almost two months due to 50-60 pay-hike impasse.

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

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,...

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains...
