When schools burn, it's the rot in government that stinks

I’ve been a great fan of literature since my high school days, or maybe since my childhood. Having been brought up by a father who mostly used proverbs in teaching his children, I must have benefited by developing genuine interest in always trying to find sense in every plain word uttered by anybody.

Symbolism; Ngugi wa Thiongo can help you understand that when a society is going through a unique scenario as witnessed in the burning of schools by the students or whoever it is that helps in the burning, there must be something larger than large behind the scenes. The burning of schools is just but an expression of dissatisfaction. Let me break it down to you in a language you can understand best since many of us don’t face facts as they should; CS Matiangi is appointed to a ministry that has been known to deep-rooted rot, deeper than tap root itself. No one can easily forget that this is the same ministry where Sam Ongeri, former minister for education is alleged to have squandered the ministry’s funds leading to his suspension by The Former Prime minister Raila Odinga in 2010.
