WHAT WILL YOU SHOW AFTER FOUR YEARS IN THE UNIVERSITY?- SONU CHAIR-Zack Kinuthia

Education is the key.This is probably the earliest statement of wisdom that you came across.You must have either rejected or adopted this nugget.  However,the anti statement loyalists did so out of frustrations that this key was evading them. The pro statement because they hoped that doors will flung at the might of the key.
Far from the attachment that you draw from the wisdom,I want to express my disillusionment of my fellow colleagues in the academia.
The key that was, as I have come to rightly hold, was not just to open doors of happiness which it can, especially economic halls, but to close the doors of pains of life.
In Athens,back then, the fathers of logic and philosophy, went out of line to reveal to the people that the happiness they needed could only be found in liberty. Liberty of mind and conscience. The antidote being education.
The free man would only be found within and beyond the precepts of education. The greatest crusaders of this liberator are usually the ones with the least or none of education, perhaps because they feel the pain of the contrary.
I will join the long list of the elders who perpetuate the call to education. Nevertheless, I would rather put it clear that my campaign for education is on a different panorama. Not the one that formed the source of my disillusionment.
Education that sharpens the mind and blunts the soul succeeds in making imps. Education that ignores the faculty of imagination leads to robots.
Useless of all is the education that teaches humanity the skills for making money while breaking the family. Education that orients our children that one’s talents are meant for their personal gratification is our enemy.
Education that seeks to compare the learners leads to discord.
Four years in the university is enough time for one to surrender the emotions destructive like anger and intolerance at the altar of education.
Four years are seen to succeed when the culprits are confidently courteous to disagree with positions they hold differently. Real education for a graduate who hopes to be one, is the greatest defender to violence of capitalism.
If anyone leaves the university with wavering stands about the pertinent issues of societies,disown them. If anyone leaves the university with grammatical errors and pathetic reasoning capabilities, strip them the title 'our pride.' If anyone after four years can throw a punch as their defence of reason, tremble. If they cannot hold their flesh under hostage against destructive emotions because money blinds them,refuse them land. Education must be the Key.

Luos and Kikuyus Should Lead the Way to Unity!:Golden Jubilee-Anyona Robert

As Kenya celebrates fifty years of its independence, there is little to rejoice about as far as national integration is concern. There is an emergent apprehension that Kenya is at war with itself, the youth mount a serious ideological war in the social media that has left a vicious sense and heightened suspicion amid its citizens. Ethnocentrism, pigeon-holes and terrorization has remained the order of the day where certain communities feel superior to others.

 Kenya’s accomplishment lies not on the state of the art projects and blueprints of the previous and currents regimes but on the quality of life of its residents. Over the past decade there is an increasing concern that this negative ethnic tormentor will suck us dead. Currently, Kenya is ranked midst the botched states in the sub-Saharan expanse which is an affront to its citizens. A divided house cannot stand!

The epitome of divisive politics has fueled the negative ethnicity through tribal government appointments and political choices that aggregate to betrayals. In line with these events I believe Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga odinga, Daniel Moi, Mwai Kibaki, and Raila Odinga holds the ultimate responsibility   to the jumble we are in. To start with, at independence the mood was an integrated Kenya when Mzee Jomo and Oginga  got absolute power they corrupted us absolutely, what transpired between them  fashioned discord among Kikuyus and Luos,  these two societies have dragged this nation behind with their differences and it is time they buried the hatchet and progressed . The 24years of Moi’s era implanted seeds of divide and rule in the hearts of Kenyans, there are not many noble stories to convey about that regime, only persecutions and incarcerations aimed at anti-government forces. Mwai Kibaki received a very cohesive state at Uhuru Park in December 2002, what occurred a decade later? In 2008 Kibaki and Raila signed The Grand Coalition Accord the republic was in tatters but we expected to be united, they used the five years fighting and apportioning us more.

According to Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice the intense disagreement between Shylock the Jew and Antonio the Christian lead to retaliation and I quote “if you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us do we not revenge?” .This tribal animosity will lead us the Rwandan style.

As a diverse nation all of us hold true to the posterity of this nation, let us focus on the things that unite us other than those that divides us, the Kikuyus are typecast for being enterprising they  holds the vital ingredient for this nations launch to new frontiers , the Luos with their perfectionism gets the bragging rights for getting us to  artistic and innovative levels, the Kalenjins with their willpower  advertises us globally in the sporting arena, the Luhyas stereotyped for vigor contributes  the preeminent  specialists and labor force for a better Kenya, the Coastarians are certainly hospitable will hosts our tourism sector and the Kambas with their reliability gives the best supervisors this in turn will make us the Kenya we dream of .We are better united than divided.
