Peter Munya: The Man with the beautiful Wife.





1.      Munya is the father.
He was born Peter Gatirau. The son of Mr. Jackson Munya M'Rukunga and Mrs. Grace Mwakithi; raised in Muthaara, Meru County.



2.      Alumni of Chogoria Boys and Meru School.
He sat for and passed his ‘O’ Levels at Chogoria Boys High School, and proceeded to Meru School for his ‘A’ levels. At Meru School, Hon. Peter Munya was the Chairman of the Debating Club and a winner of the Provincial Public Speaking Competition. Which is a great achievement considering his strong Meru accent.


3.      A champion of the youth.
He founded and chaired Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association with the aim of championing in Parliament, issues affecting Kenyan youth.


4.      Advocate for women empowerment.
Hon. Peter Munya founded the Tigania Women SACCO with the main objective of empowering women economically by enabling them access affordable credit and mobilizes savings. The SACCO has enabled women to venture into small-scale businesses and other income generating activities.


5.      Disgusted by Miraa.
 He first chewed Miraa (Khat) in 1989 while preparing for his A-level exams in Meru School when a friend told him it would help with mental retention. The result was however disastrous as he got too intoxicated after chewing overnight while revising and was unable to remember anything during the next day’s exam.


6.      Almost started a war.
Mr. Munya had travelled to Hargeisa, the capital of Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland to lobby for easier trade rules for Miraa exporters in Kenya in exchange for some form of recognition for Somaliland. The Somali government imposed a ban on Miraa imports from Kenya because Meru Governor Peter Munya had "used the business to campaign for the breakup of the country."


7.      Very Sexy Wife.
Peter Gatirau might not be the best looking guy but he has a charm for good looking women. Munya is married to Phoebe Munya and they have two children Karauni and Nkio.

IN GLORY OF US AS COMRADES

  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...

Free thinker

FREE THINKER Am sited with my laptop on my lap on a chilly Tuesday evening  trying to confirm the opening dates for my 2016 academic year, this thought crosses my mind: do we really know the true meaning of the phrase “institution of higher learning?”. I check my universities website and alas it has the same phrase. Then I ask myself; do the people or rather the students know the true meaning or the power in the phrase “institution of higher learning”. Am writing this blog in a somber and sorrowful mood.  Not to shame, insult or critics anybody but to acknowledge the challenges institutions of higher learning are facing. An important idea in the definition of “institution of higher learning” is the notion of academic freedom. I will not indulge myself in the whole notion of defining academic freedom but again l ask does anyone really acknowledge what academic freedom translates to? I happen to love my motherland country Kenya at the same time I happen to love my school too...

I WISH YOU WERE HERE

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
