2024 KCSE: Starehe, Mang'u and Alliance Girls' comeback encouraging
Alliance Girls Chief Principal Jeddah Mwangi joins her students in celebrating the school's good performance after the 2024 KCSE results were announced.
Comeback • It is heartening to see the comeback in the 2024 KCSE exam of the traditional top performers such as Starehe Boys Centre, Mang’u, Alliance Girls and Kenya High schools, remarks Mwai Muturi. “I wish the media had also checked the performance of giant killers, mainly from western Kenya, which surprised everybody in the 2022 and 2023 exam results.” His contact is [email protected].

Accountability • During last year’s National Treasury’s Budget public sector hearing, Daniel Murugu says the Education ministry requested Sh400 million for exams management. With the results of some 1,000 KCSE candidates cancelled, he wants to see heads roll. Says he: “The Kenya National Examinations Council management and the board should resign.” His contact is [email protected].

Sprucing up • Nairobi City County’s move to regulate hawking and enhance cleanliness at matatu stages in the city centre is the best decision in ages, says Nicholas Murithi. However, he hopes the next decision will be to remove the matatu and bus stages and Marigiti and Landhies Road markets from the central business district. We need a clean and spacious CBD!” His contact is [email protected].

Power madness • After being popularly elected, leaders begin to feel indispensable and recruit sycophants to help them to perpetuate their grip on power, says Jerry Kenyansa. “Over time, they turn themselves into masters, who are difficult to dislodge from the reins of power. The rank and file are then ignored as the leaders just pursue their selfish interests.” His email address is [email protected].

Sycophants • Nothing reminds Dave Tumbula about the saying, “crying more than the bereaved”, than the abductions of government critics. Says he: “The leaders, including President William Ruto, need genuine feedback, which they get from criticism and should ignore the sycophants giving them a bad name. The President has promised to stop the abductions, why can’t they also support that?”
Have a truthful day, won’t you!
