the plight of teachers



It was the best idea for teacher to resume back to classes after heated and tedious struggles for wining a bigger pay. Perhaps it was the right thing to do- go back to classes even without being played and consider the life of innocent angels who hopelessly rely on teachers for their ever growing desires to be the leaders of tomorrow. Majority congratulated them for this idea. Parents could not sit eat and party while their money was being lost in the air with no hope of regaining it. They experienced nightmares, cursed the unions and their leaders, solicited for refuge in churches and governments and kept their hopes to anyone who comes for their rescue.
All was over when industrial court called of the strike and the unions agreed to it arbitration. Contrary to many I watched this in disbelief. Fight and thirst for good pay, good considerations as partakers of economy, good living standards and good health for teachers was all quenched by another promise- the government is keenly looking into their matters and it is working towards delivering its promises including good wages for its employees. I didn’t stop there. I had a series of reflections in my mind. Reflections of what have been happening in other parts of the world. Some dated back to 1940s in America. The times when Martin Luther King junior was advocating for the rights of unions and workers
     …strikes meant long works and months of intense hunger conflict, and physical violence, a press and public opinion that depicted the strike as an insurrection. With the settlement of many these early strikes there was little or nothing added to the pay envelope, little or nothing for job security and a mountain of debts to pay and harsh memories to forget..

Perhaps Luther had seen these days, not necessarily in America but in Kenya. That’s where strikes for better pay are experienced. What will the government do to fulfill its promises to teachers? Who is taking necessities from many and giving luxuries to few? Mwangi  Edwin  email me via edwinmwangi20@gmail.com

MT Kenya the Weeping Giant

  Mt Kenya enjoys a large population and a great popular vote. However, despite the numbers, the region is still a weeping giant. but why is it so? Now voting system determines the king making process therefore continuity in leadership is a major definition to it. For a record of time, the most powerful politicians in Kenya, enjoys re-election, not because they accomplish everything but because those who vote for them understand that one day, they will sit in the high table and bargain on their behalf. As we are speaking Mount Kenya has not groomed her leaders and the mountain is weeping. also read https://bit.ly/3fY4Sn4 We are just bragging about our eight million votes but truth be told, it’s not about the numbers but the leaders. A ship is able to navigate even in a stormy sea not because of it is bigger than the sea, but because the captain behind the wheel understands the navigation dashboard. And so is leadership. Hard facts. We don’t elect leaders to have an immedia...
