MUNENE A MUTWIRI

  NESH PENDRAGON After a long, cold and rainy stay at home school is finally here again. I take this chance to wish you all a safe journey back to Narok and to those who were still around please remember to go say hello to mummy before you resume school this coming semester. Let me remind us that we have come a long way as an institution but a lot more has to be done not just for us now but for posterity. The enemy still remains the administration. Suspension of students based on weak allegations. The Non-functioning state of SOMMU and the general poor management of student affairs by the management are still thorny issues. A lot of new challenges await us, the large number of students who will be on session to the ‘new’ mabati classes that might be used by some of us if not all. Most of us have already travelled to Narok; having to go check on either their missing marks, to sit for a supplementary exam or the special exams. As you sit your exams I want to wi...

PROFESSOR MARY WALINGO Maybe some will love to call you ‘mother’ others our ‘mother’, but for me am not interested in giving you funky motherly titles that l think you do not deserve. I prefer to address you with your official name or title, Professor Mary Walingo, The Vice Chancellor Maasai Mara University. You happen not to know me so I take this chance to introduce myself. I’m Munene A Mutwiri a communications student in third year. With due respect Madame Vice Chancellor; I’m compelled to convey my sincere disappointments with your leadership style through this open letter. Let me start by highlighting why you do not deserve the name ‘mother’ of the school. The majority of the students in this university happen to have their own mothers. Those who are unfortunate not to have one, they have their guardians, those with non-have their girlfriends as their ‘mothers’. Those who don’t have either have God as their ‘mother’. And even those who are unfortunate enough not to ...

Maybe sometimes we get it wrong, or maybe no, maybe we always get it wrong, or maybe some people think we always get it wrong, or maybe it’s all just because we get it all wrong just because we think or were told we have gotten it wrong. Pride and ego is the enemy of one self. It will eat you up from the inside and destroy you but that’s the ego and pride inside a man. Wasn’t a man made to die or be destroyed by his own pride and ego? The worry and the new end or fallout of our society is the pride and ego of a woman. A woman is the true self of the society. A woman is the sole manifest of love, happiness, and success. A woman is the light from the darkness and the evil side of the world. The most painful evil and cruel thing to happen to out society is a woman with pride and an ego. Pride and an ego in a woman are more or same as betrayal. One should rather die than be betrayed there is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. What’s there for man ...

The Invisible Dragon I have a dragon inside of me He jumps in my mouth when I want to be free He grabs at my throat when I want to speak He makes me so scared that I feel very weak You can’t see my dragon coz he’s deep down inside But he makes me so nervous; all I want to do is hide I wish that I could speak to you – I wish I had the choice But the dragon inside of me has snatched away my voice When you ask a question and all l want to do is answer you When you call my name and make me think about   you I simply can’t answer – my throats too tight Coz my dragon says “BOO” and I jump with fright It really makes me sad; all I want to do is cry Coz I’d love to be your friend if I wasn’t so shy So if my face doesn’t smile when you ask me to play It’s because this pesky dragon just won’t go away
