I remember when Saitoti was the Education Minister and he was releazing KCSE results( I think at KIE) he handed the results to the KNEC Secretary in a CD and he (Saitoti) said they he was handing the results in a diskette! I think the fellows do not know the difference between a diskette, a flash disk and a CD (DVD, VCD).

But if they want to buy Diskettes, then we are doomed!

The critical issue I think we are missing is the generation of the curriculum... Shouldn't the youth in the country have a hand in designing the courses to be taught?

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!

AND

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
