Teachers in uproar over my demand they work over December holidays

Teachers in uproar over my demand they work over December holidays

I announced that the new rota would be pinned on the school noticeboard on Sunday.

I remained in the office, working and trying to figure out how I would keep every teacher productively occupied during the two-month holiday.

After being away from school, I returned to Mwisho wa Lami to find things in a sorry state. As you will recall, Saphire had disappeared from school just a few days before the KJSEA and KPSEA assessments!

Luckily, these two assessments are not taken as seriously as we used to take the KCPE examinations. KCPE was a matter of life and death. We prepared for it as though our lives depended on it.

When I was not planning how I would spend my retirement, I was busy editing my resignation letter.

As for me, even if the crops fail and there are no cattle in the stalls, I will rejoice in the Lord.

When people started spreading rumours that QVSE could be fake, he came to see me.

We have now been asked to wait for 33 days before we can access our money.

The proposals sought to impose specific timelines on electronic transmission of presidential results from polling stations.

The Bills, which are undergoing public participation, seek to overhaul the Education sector.

The increasing accidents and deaths point to an entrenched systemic crisis.
