There is a concerned Citizen reporter who exposed the suspension of a Standard One pupil at Bondo Kosiemo Primary School, Migori County. The victim is said to be a stubborn noisemaker. Before I joined the University, I volunteered to teach in the school. The Headmaster is a man of understanding, and coincidentally we share the rare surname. The headmaster did not suspend the child, but the child was suspended from his school. Other teachers did not deliver the suspension, but the suspension was authored in their home- staffroom.
The same school has engineered some of the finest engineers in the continent, and produced silent heroes like Dr. Odero Jowi and Dr. Paul Kiage. Jowi is remembered as the first African to achieve the doctorate title on his name. Kiage is the statistician who revolutionized the AU statistics. Even the celebrated limousine Dad traces his nyadhi (sophiscation) from the rural, sisal school.
