THIS MAN MATIANG'I...

FRED OKENGO MATIANG'I
Cabinet Secretary for the 
Ministry of Education,Science
And Technology.

After such a long time,Kenyan education system gets to enjoy some dignity in the manner in which final exams this year has been handle by the CS for education. 
In his bid to stop rampant cheating in exams,he enforced radical changes to school calend at and exams which was not welcomed by a few leaders in education sector.
Matiangi banned visiting and mass prayers during third term in schools to curbbe cheating in final examsexams,reduced third term to 9 weeks and extended second term by one weekwas which brought forth unrest in schools.
This however did notyou make him stop or change his mind until exams were done,completed and results announced.
It is incredible how the whole process took suchildren a short time,for the KCPE results to be announced with almost no major hitches.
However what is more impressive is how he managed to curb cheating or exam irregularities in KCPE.
Everyone now awaits the KCSE results yet to be released.
Meanwhile an applause for Matiangi for a test passed.Such is a leader we want.
Matiang'i had served as the Eastern Africa regional representative for the Centre for International Development, Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, the State University of New York before being nominated as the Cabinet Secretary for Information Communication and Technology on 23 April 2013.[1][2] On 24 November 2015, President Uhuru Kenyatta, in a cabinet reshuffle, appointed him as the cabinet secretary for Education.
His style of leadership is one that has definitely been envied by many for his firm decisions and his way of standing for what he believes in to the end.

CITY LIFE 3

The classes will be starting monday,I learn. So I take the opportunity to learn about the campus basics to be in the know. Just as I was leaving the noisy hall,a lady holds my hand and when I turn to see who it was,I stare at a fairly tall beautiful lady. Hi, Hi I'm Everlyne I'm Tanisa I saw you copy the same timetable as mine. I think we are going to be classmates... Wow,that would be nice. We exchange contacts for updates about classes.You know how it feels when you make your first girlfriend at campus and you feel this one is just your type? Peter,helps us walk around,showing us lecture halls,washrooms,offices and where to find a bite in case of hunger pains.That is all we needed to know at the moment.And we were good to go.Good to go without Peter Mwangi.How I wish he was handsome enough though,may be,just may be,I would have liked him.....Hahaha. Evelyn and I stroll in town,familiarizing ourselves with the streets and buildings in this town.You know getting lost...

Young Stress Part 3

I woke up the following morning rather confused and so lost.I woke up beside my sister who was wide awake just staring blankly in the ceiling just waiting for me to wake up. When she notices I am also awake she lifts me up and leads me to the kitchen,where granny was still sitted beside the three stones,smoke coming out from the fireplace and covering the entire kitchen. Sipping her tea,she notices our faint footsteps towards her.She looks back and smiles at us. "Come here my children.." She motions us to a three legged stool and since we are tiny,we squeeze to fit on it looking at her with those kind of hungry eyes. Okay you know at the countryside;well. At least those days  we never had anything like brushing our teeth.Grandpa though would cut a stem from a cypress tree,chew the tip and give it to you for tooth brushing.Don laugh,I still see people do this even this  elite times. Grandmother,is kind enough to give us a cup of tea and some arrow roots. Well,they tasted ...

VILLAGE CRACKS

As we walked under the scotching ⛅ sun, Laura couldn’t stop picking out different leaves, talking of their medicinal value, some dangerous, some food for snakes, others best hide outs for chameleon and so on and so on. Couldn’t quite understand how she knew all that, I mean at her age? Okay, another surprise for this village queens. They tell you something and you left pondering about it for a decade until you sit down with your granny to decipher it😂😂😂. We came through a bushy path, down into the middle of the village and further down to a huge stream that took me by surprise. It’s so big😓😓😓😟 I thought. Almost looks like the Nile, well in such a village okay…. My thoughts were interrupted by her strong grip ushering me to a bank of the river. Grass was actually to the level of my knees and this wasn’t going well with me. What if snakes🐍🐍🐍🐍 we’re cra...
