  Political parties should support PWD's to contest in the coming August general elections IEBC chair has announced that the general elections will be held in August 9th 2022.People with disabilities have not been favoured in the ongoing campaign and they are not sure to be nominated either.People with disabilities lack capacity and endure harmful attitudes.They also face a lot of stereotypical attitudes, as they are played down and not treated as part of the team in politics. Money is another challenge because running an election campaign without significant resources is extremely difficult. Women with disabilities have difficult  participating in politics as they are even more discriminated and seen as incapable to lead.Women with disabilities should be taken into consideration when supporting women’s political participation.The people with disabilities are frown upon and those who have shown that they would like to contest are not given support from the leaders of political part

  Let parents come easy on the school reports brought at home by students A report is the final representation of the student's grade for a class. School progress cards serve an important role in allowing teachers, students and parents to track how well the student does throughout the year. In turn, this gives students a chance to correct study habits, modify their behaviors and make other changes to keep themselves on a positive academic course. Reports are documents designed to record and convey information to the reader.Other reports summarize past events, present current data, and forecast future trends. While a report may have conclusions, propositions, or even a call to action, the demonstration of the analysis is the primary function.With school progress cards, students have the chance to identify their improvement needs and make changes to bring their grades up before the final report cards are released. Teachers can track how well their students are doing in class and lear

  Degree not needed to run as M P is  very unfair indeed I received the news that the High Court has annulled a section of the Elections Act 2012  requiring those aspiring for election as MP's to have University degrees with shock.To quote the late state man of South Africa Nelson Mandela who posited "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”  “The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.How can Kenya improve technologically and improve in innovations so as to create job opportunities and attain vision 2030 which is 8 years to go but only through Education.This quote by Nelson Mandela is one of the most famous qoutes on the value of education. Nelson Mandela also added that no country will develop and improve without the citizens being educated.An educated person knows how to acquire desired skills by identifying and utilizing available

  Let authorities ban graffiti writings on walls Kenya will have it's general elections on 9th August 2022.But campaigns started since last year 2021.Campaigns in Kenya are usually followed by graffiti writings on the walls.To identify a candidate,one just reads the graffiti and automatically identifies the names of candidates who will vie in that area.Unfortunately the graffiti have defaced walls in very many buildings in Kenya and elections are three months to go. Election graffiti have also turned the mundane walls of the Kenyan buildings lively during this poll times, registering the candidates’ names, symbols and parties in the minds of the public. Once synonymous with the vibrant atmosphere of the election season, the graffiti no longer enjoys the glory of its past, with candidates depending a lot more on new age avenues like phone marketing, private agencies and social media to drum support for themselves. Graffiti is a form of visual communication,usually illegal,involving

  Let Presidential candidates have more time with their deputies We now have over 50​ Presidential candidates for the August 2022 general elections.The Presidential candidates with many supporters like Raila Odinga and William Ruto have up to Monday deadline to name their running mates.Many people have given them suggestion of names and in Azimio there was a panel formed to conduct suitability interviews, which invited potential running mates for interview.The bone of contention is the time the Presidential candidates have been given to name their preferred deputies.They had been given an earlier date but it was moved forward after they complained.A deputy President will work with the President for five years to govern the country,ensure policies are implemented,to advice the President and when the President is away, to work on his behalf and many other duties.So to give a Presidential candidates less than a month to chose a running mate is a very hasty decision.ln February the Registr

  LET PRINCIPALS DE-LINK UNIFORM FROM SCHOOL FEES SO AS TO ATTAIN 100 PERCENT TRANSITION Uniform is an identity of a particular school or institution. But the issue of uniform has been added in school fees and it is hindering access to education. In the late 90’s,2000 and 2021, the issue of uniform was not in school fees and many students could access education.During the same time principals could allow a student to continue with education while putting on the uniform they came with, till they were able to afford new uniform.But it is not happening. But now days,heads of institutions have realized that uniform should be part of fees and it is denying poor students access to education. Many of secondary schools have imposed exorbitant charges for school uniform in the fee structure. Some  parents have taken to social media platforms to register their disapproval of the move by the schools to charge as much as Sh30,000 for uniform. Some schools either referred the parents to select unif

  STOP GAMBLING ADVERTS ON TV AND RADIO SAME LIKE CIGARETTES Gambling can stimulate the brain's reward system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction . There are many companies which are doing the business of betting or gambling in Kenya.    If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, hide your behaviour, deplete savings, accumulate debt, or even resort to theft or fraud to support your addiction.   G oing overboard can transform what should be an occasional source of enjoyment into a mental dependence.  Pathological gambling  is  regarded as a compulsion, motivated by the need to relieve anxiety.  Gambling excessively can lead  to  dramatic alterations in the way the brain sends chemical messages ,  and gamblers often have genetic or psychological dispositions that make them prone to gambling too much. These factors can initiate a person’s downward spiral into addiction.  Recently a gambling company started an ad

 Bumps erected Countrywide should be regulated as they are a cause of accidents The Kenya National Bureau of Standards (KEBS) published the design standard in November 2000 but it has largely been ignored. The standard  KS774:2000  says that  the maximum height of a speed bump is 10cm above the road surface,but in exceptional circumstances,the height can be increased to 20cm.ln Kenya there are very many speed bumps and with varying sizes and shapes and they need to be removed or be reduced. In 1999, the Department for Transport announced that speed bumps must be a minimum height of 2.5cm and maximum height of 10cm. This then means that drivers must slow down to a speed of around 5mph to navigate a road speed bump without damage.Speed bumps are to be affixed for an area to have a  20 mph speed limit and where there are street lights and low traffic. Areas that are well-lighted with the vigorous speed of vehicles are especially main areas where speed bumps and humps should be installed.1
