We should be grateful we have poorly maintained and unmarked roads, little to no road signs, poor emergency response and corrupt incompetent traffic police and agencies
Chapeau! @ledamalekina
@Dr_AustinOmondi I appreciate you asking that, and that’s what we should ask them. It’s for us to understand why an exam would cause such unrest and reevaluate the systems, because this has been a perpetual issue
But you adults accepted CBC because you were promised it would have no exams. Over and over again, I said that that's a ridiculous promise because exams are a selection tool for a bad economy. Fix the economy so that exams stop being something necessary. And Kenyans called me names. Yet in fact, the youth fear exams because the exams, and most of all the economy, are rigged in favor of the schools with the libraries, the KNEC teachers and the old names with powerful alumni networks.
Stop preaching water and drinking wine. You demanded one thing and are now calling children unreasonable for doing the same.

We clearly don’t want to deal with the actual problem. How does closing a school canteen stop kids from destroying property, yet they are under constant stress. The arsons are just a symptom of the bigger problem. How do we have such empty heads in govt 😮💨
Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.
Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.
Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.
There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.
