Monday, 21 September 2015-Former
Kiss 100 radio presenter, Caroline Mutoko, has decided to tell teachers the
bitter truth concerning their recent strike that has paralyzed learning.
Read her article below that may
make Sossion fall sick instantly; I had no idea we think if someone's opinion is contra to
yours then it must be wrong. That's being narrow-minded. I am clear and RIGHT
about the wage bill being messed up and teachers are too weak, too shallow and
too scared, to go after is the hoard of politicians who earn loads for doing
nothing.
FACT: Teachers will never take the
fight to the political class.
Teachers will vote for the same
people who robe them year-in-year-out and have done so since this demand for
better wages began in 1997.
FACT: Public school teachers will
vote for the same people who don't TRUST THEM with THEIR children's education.
Please don't forget that, some of
them were public school teachers until the other day. Go figure.
FACT: Out of 280,000 striking
teachers - 60 per cent will vote for Uhuru. Central Kenya doesn't roll any
other way. Yeah I said it!!
In the heat of the moment, teachers
have always voted their rights and lives away and let me repeat this
"to People who don't TRUST YOU
with THEIR children's education". It has been so since 1997.
FACT: How many prayer meetings have
been held for teachers?
Okay - how many prayers meetings
have been held for ICC?
The last one happened in the middle
of YOUR strike - last weekend in Ruiru.
Doesn't the church doesn't have your
back?
FACT: Beyond a few hashtags you
can't even get the biggest activists to stand with you. Even the activists'
kids are NOT in public school. The most fierce of activists pay you lip service
- They don't ENTRUST the education of their children to you.
When are you going to get it??
FACT: When you're too weak, too
short-sighted to take your fight to the political class you come after me for
stating uncomfortable facts? Come on! Get real!
FACT: I am not the enemy. I am
simply the only person who will state the ugly, painful, clear truth. Just
because I won't be bullied into joining a chorus that makes no sense doesn't me
wrong or bad. It just says I don't JOIN BANDWAGONS.
FACT: I don't lie and I will NOT
"paka public teachers mafuta" while sending my kids to a private
school. Even I can't be that shallow.
Actually - you have enough people
paying lip-service and hashtag service to you - why do you need me?
Is this a case of the more the
merrier even if it's hypocritical?
I wish I could just join the
bandwagon and lie with my keyboard - for sure you would like me more.
For sure you would. You love a good
lie. How else do you find yourselves here?
How I wish I could just go with the
flow - but the only things that go with the flow are dead fish.
That is the distinct uncomfortable
annoying truth about me.
I DON'T LIE.
Look how easily, almost
automatically, infuriatingly you have switched your focus to me. Seriously?
The politicians collectively want to
send me flowers and chocolates. Seriously.
Your attention is now on me and my
small column? As they say on Twitter - Eish
FACT: The truth will set you free,
but first, it will piss you off!
Great. You're pissed off! Now what?
