To say this has been a sobering week for the Kenyan teaching fraternity is an understatement. Last week’s horrific murder of Daisy Mbaluka Mbathe, a teacher at Ndooni Primary School in Kitui County, brings home the chilling reality of senseless killings and insecurity in Kenya.
It is fair to say that our security agencies have not covered themselves in glory. Incidents of parents attacking and molesting teachers are on the rise and have caused panic, fear and anxiety among teachers.
