The plight and concerns of teachers should be a priority

The first Kenyan President and founding father of our sovereign nation, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta repeatedly said that Kenya, a newly independent country, faced three major challenges including diseases, ignorance and poverty which had to be addressed. 

He lived to address those challenges and left the reign for other leaders to do so too. The late icon indeed highlighted the essence and the place of education in our country. With this in mind, I beg to reveal some issues pertinent to teachers and more so the cons of underpayment.
