WHY EDWIN SIFUNA IS WRONG

Kenya is not a failed state and a country where impunity reigns because it has never had a lawyer as president. There are millions of inept, corrupt and brutal lawyers who have occupied positions of power in Kenya, Africa and the rest of the world.

The judiciary has been one of the most corrupt and incompetent institutions despite being controlled and entirely led by lawyers.

Lawyers are behind most fraudulent transactions at the Lands Office, at the AG Chambers, in various ministries, state corporations, universities and the private sector.

What Kenya and other African countries lack isn’t the absence of lawyers or people with particular degrees in leadership positions; what is lacking is leadership with INTEGRITY operating within a transformed state, institutions and systems.

Anyone stuck on “Ruto failed because he studied zoology, so I will succeed because I am a lawyer” is actually far worse than Ruto.

It’s not about what you studied. It’s not about your occupation. And it certainly is not about the “software.”

It is, at the root, about the structurally, architecturally, and institutionally DEFECTIVE colonial STATE, colonial INSTITUTIONS, colonial LAWS and colonial SYSTEMS, which were not designed to serve Africans. They were designed to EXTRACT, EXPLOIT and DEHUMANIZE Africans.

The colonial STATE is inherently inimical to EQUITY, constitutionalism, DIGNITY and SOCIAL JUSTICE, which ought to be our ultimate collective vision for our societies.

It’s also about a transformative and REVOLUTIONARY vision and INTEGRITY.

Unless we focus on these things, the slogans about WANTAM, TUTAM, or any other, will continue to be nothing but clever manipulative propaganda to FORTIFY, entrench and perpetuate the unjust, inequitable and repressive colonial STATE.

I would rather have standard 8 leaders with integrity who are committed revolutionaries rather than corrupt lawyers, engineers, economists, theologians, teachers, accountants, zoologists, anthropologists, politicians, political scientists, physicians or physicists with a PhD.

Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Actually, in countries where law is a graduate degree, the only thing that’s required is a high GPA and high scores in the entrance exam (in North America, it’s called LSAT). Those with the highest scores, regardless of their areas of study, including physics, chemistry, etc., get admitted and eventually prosper as lawyers. The assumption is that one wouldn’t have made it to university and scored high GPA if one can’t communicate. KCSE scores are largely irrelevant for university studies. But in Kenya, we construct artificial and irrelevant cages for the majority of our people—cages which often favour the wealthy, or the privileged but less deserving.

Now, Kenyans, this obsession with KCSE is what I was trying to explain is the problem with Kenyan education when we were swooning over CBC.

In my post, I talked of KCSE very specifically, and people assumed that I'm saying language doesnt matter in law. No. I was saying that KCSE should not be the only certification that matters. Right now, if I scored a C in English, even if I was to go and train as an English teacher in England, return here, and apply to be a teacher in TSC and or to join the legal profession, and maybe I'm even 35 years old, so I've been working with English for at least 17 years since high school, some of those years in England itself, I would not be allowed to do law or high school teaching, on the basis of my KCSE language grades.

I know someone who speaks Kiswahili very well. But she got a C in Kiswahili. She did B.Ed in Kiswahili, and TSC refused to employ her on the basis of her KCSE grade. She went to Tanzania, U of Dar no less, did a masters in Kiswahili. TSC still refused. They told her her only hope was to become a primary school teacher.

Right now, you people oohed and aaahed about music being taught in CBC. Do you know that we don't have enough music teachers? After music was removed as a compulsory subject in KCSE, very few students did Music up to form 4. Meaning that today, many people doing Music in university are doing so on certificates in Music from universities or ABRSM. They can be doing private teaching at the conservertoire, touring the world because of their music, but TSC will NOT employ them, because they didn't do music in KCSE. And there's a shortage of Music teachers.

So, when you people were shouting with @KICDKenya that the problem with 8.4.4 was exam obsession, I told you no. The problem is our institutions.

1) our institutions obsess with holding people to their grades when they were 17 years old, sometimes even 30 years after high school. I know of a PhD holder who was not employed as a lecturer because of his A level grade. In 2012, thereforeabouts. The man had even published post-PhD, was over 40 years old, but no.

2) what we need is the recognition of work/lived experience. But again, your precious Fred Matiangi even wanted to CANCEL degrees earned by people who entered university doing diplomas. Yet the top professors of the 70s, the ones we still quote today, started as S1 teachers. Ali Mazrui was one of them.

I said the solution to exam obsession was to ease the pressure of certification, but almost all Kenyans joined the bandwagon of saying the problem is the curriculum. And now, let me just remind you, CBC is worse that KCSE on that count alone. Children will be blocked from entering professions based on their pathways, not just their results.

The real problem of Kenya is our class snobbery. We think that people must follow a certain path, and must be punished for ever and ever for the grades they scored when they were 17. And then you self-righteously wonder why students burn dorms when mock exams are round the corner.

We are not British aristocrats. WE ARE NOT BRITISH ARISTOCRATS. We need to stop with this class, snobbery, pedigree nonsense in the work space. It is encouraging mediocrity, corruption and most of all, exclusion of people who would otherwise be gainfully employed.

And ban the CBC pathways. Pathways are evil.

My friend Hon Otiende Amollo should consider siaya county gubernatorial bid to increase the menu of aspirants. I believe he will do a good job. Siaya residents want me to unseat Gov Orengo (who was my project) but i am totally occupied with President Ruto’s TUTAM agenda.

Dear Mt Kenya. There were 3 by elections today. UDA won all three. 100% performance. I will keep reminding you even if you do not like it. William Ruto wil be re-elected without a single Mt Kenya vote. There will be crying and gnashing of teeth

@CopShakurkihara Show us the evidence, produce the book you were forced to buy, otherwise achana na Mama apumzike.

@ReubenKigame @SKishvile Your statement is a mix of truth and deception. Do not merely rely on hearsay; ensure you are fully informed...

@Honcalebamisi A true African renaissance cannot be built on the silence of victims. You call for the 'rule of law,' yet we saw a young Kenyan, DJ Evolve, have his life changed forever with no criminal conviction for the perpetrator (your Friend). Selective justice is not justice at all.

@Honcalebamisi Yivi waagota mea, So you think Raila trusted You, Sifuna,and Babu More than Oburu, and it's only the three of you who are on the side that protects Baba's legacy? By the way, when you say Obutu visited him in jail, where were you? Oburu knows more about Baba than you do.

[Philip Etale @EtalePhilip]

Those from Western Kenya shouting “Ruto WANTAM” were there or are children or relatives of those who were there when our region was sidelined economically and only left to sing SOCIAL songs as the people were reduced to pulling or pushing vehicles off the mud during rainy seasons for a few pieces of coins. They do not what development so that our people can remain survivors and dependent on handouts. They are even surprised that we can now have SGR to ease traffic congestion and road accidents, a dual carriage road network that can accelerate road transport from the seat of power to our region and well done access roads in the rural areas. They want to continue giving hope to the people the when the government can make them hope and think. Bwana Kenyans of today are not Kenyans of yesterday. We want PAWAAAAA.

Politicians, friends of Tuju, etc- if you truly love and care for the man set up a paybill number and raise Kshs. 2 billion to help him redeem his properties. Otherwise in kelele tu.

@kijana_misa Refusing to seal a clean business deal has nothing to do with patriotism, Oliech made a wrong decision then, I'm sure if such an opportunity presents itself again, he won't miss it.

[Dr. Miguna Miguna @MigunaMiguna]

@Kenyans Mr. @orengo_james: You are Raila’s age-mate. Stop trying to milk a dead person. Stand up like an old man and restore your “tartared” legacy. Provide services to Siaya residents!

[EVANO_RKOD🇰🇪 @Evanolangat1]

@Honcalebamisi @WilliamsRuto Starehe didn’t miss Ruto it missed the chance to enroll whoever raised you. Because clearly, lessons on humility, gratitude, and progress skipped your syllabus. You talk morals but drip bitterness. Kenya needs vision, not venom. Renaissance starts with respect.
