To destroy a society, just kill trust in its education potential

It is continuously becoming harder to have a straight path to success in Kenya. If we do not work to clean our systems, beginning with the educational system, we will end up with a completely broken-down society where no one believes in process. When people lose faith in the process, the alternative is short cuts, and that mostly means activities that disturb the civil order: Con games, corruption, heists.

I say this on the background of the disturbing news from the School of Medicine at Moi University.
