Poor Sossion & Co. Where are all those fellows who were belligerently hitching their wagons behind your “No Money No Teach Crusade”? Where are those sufuria-banging teachers who were doing the dombolo dance for the benefit of the cameras? Uhuru landed and declared ‘Can’t Pay Won’t Pay!” and promptly took off to gather frequent-flier miles far away from the classroom din; DP Ruto who has never missed his monthly salary advised teachers nicely to please gather their chalk and get down to some book hustling;
Uhuru’s star lawyer made another entrance into court and demolished all union pleadings about some supposed 50-60 per cent deal that never was! Soon teachers found themselves in the unfamiliar position of sitting in a courtroom hall listening to a real Mwalimu of Law, AG Githu Muigai, lecture them on the rudiments of an employment contract and rudiments of law.
But the clincher came when sirkal advertised teaching jobs to any and all takers. Just like the Nyayo regime once threatened to flood hospitals with Egyptian doctors and nurses, the Mwalimu pap! jobs ruse worked like a dream. Hehehe!
