WHEN honorable Members of august house discovered that our education is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) waiting to kick the bucket, they spat fire aiming at honorable Shuchool Kawa-mbwa the minister of ICU-confined Education. Their angers were topped up by the calls from wananchi edging Kawa-mbwa to hit the road. They didn't know however. This guy’s a heart of a lioness. He won’t bother despite what. He knows. He’s “guiltless.”
To show how our education system is a cadaver, one Jimmy Mbatia’d this to say, “I offer 10m/- to any professor in the House who will score 100 per cent in the standard seven mathematics exam given to pupils last year.” You see where the problem’s? Nobody came forth to take up the challenge. If we go by Mbatia’s assessment whereby Profs in the house can’t score 100% in Standard Seven Exam, how do you expect our kids to do so? Does Mbatia mean that our Profs in the houses are vilazas? With the same token, if profs can’t score 100% grade in Standard Seven Final Exam, then what’s wrong with having graduates who can’t write a mere research paper or secondary school leavers who can’t write their names?
Nonetheless, it needs the courage of the mad to soldier on as Kawa-mbwa’s always done amidst such failure. I wish Kawa-mbwa’d be given the same standard seven exams to do and see how he’ll fare. When many form four students failed, Kawa-mbwa’s pressed to pack and go. He brazenly refused to do so. Many goofed wrongly thinking that president Jake Kiquette’d fire him. He didn’t. Much was said that Kiquette can’t fire a friend especially a person who hails from the same place. Lies, mere lies!
Now it came to light once again that our education is waiting to kick the bucket. Once again, the buck stops with Kawa-mbwa and Kiquette, they say. Do you think they’re going to act differently from the saga of Form Four Failure? You can take this to the bank. Business as usual is a norm. Take it from me despite being a swigger.
I know. These big cheeses won’t take any action to arrest the situation. Why’d they while their vitegemezi are attending better schools abroad? Why’d they if at all whence their vitegemezi land fat jobs as they return home pregnant with worthy education? Why’d they if at all jobs are always waiting for their kids? Why’d they if at all our screwed up system allows them to pass the batons to their kids after they retire?
You know what. Biggies won’t do anything to rescue our dying education thanks to being able to do simian biz while boozers are watching without giving them a heck. They’ll continue with this monkey biz ad infinitum as longer as boozers remain sheepish in every encounter involving their hunk.
I always salute the media. It’s always done its job perfectly when it comes to unearthing all rots we’re evidencing. Had the hoi polloi awaken and say enough is enough, surely, those betraying them would change and abandon their simian biz.
I say it time and again. Kawa-mbwa won’t hit the road come rain come shine. If the minister of Dosh, Saadaa Mkuyati and her deputy Adam Kigoma Milima are still minting and printing dosh despite facing allegations of forgery just like others such as Makorongo Muhanga, Marry Nyagu and Bill Luku-vi, why’d Kawa-mbwa go?
If minister of transport Dr Harry Mwakiembe who promised boozers he’d root out drug barons to no avail is still in office, why Kawa-mbwa? Ask him. How many drug peddlers at least has he nabbed? My foot, Nobody! If minister of Animals and tourism Lazarus Nyarandu under whose watch Jumbos are decimated and he still in office, why Kawa-mbwa? If minister of local govt Hawaa wana Ghasi’s still minting and printing dosh despite her ministry being the hellhole swallowing our dosh every year according to CAG report, why Kawa-mbwa?
Kawa-mbwa’s tried as much as he can to see to it that the education is getting out of the ICU. After your kids failed miserably, he decided to award them good grades by abolishing division four. What else do you want him to do? This reminds me a smart friend of mine who used to add zeroes to any figures he’s intending to get to make them look good.
To see to it that every kid attains an education, Kawa’ made sure that every subdivision’s a sec school namely shule za kata. What else do you want? I know many boozers are asking if there are bigwigs’ kids attending shule za kata. There aren't. Why, because their parents live in Dar but not in kata. See? If you've one kilo of maize flour and over twenty people to feed you just make porridge by adding more water to see to it that everybody gets a share. In such circumstance quality doesn't matter but quantity.
To cut a long story short, those urging Kawa-mbwa to step down should go hang given that he’s not alone in this quandary. Indeed, instead of blaming Kawa-mbwa just blame yourselves for fearing to act and make them do the right thing for you as a hunk.
