ONE GOOD SLAP DESERVES ANOTHER
Lecturers want to make me spend another year in campus. Kwani do they think I want to be a professor in stone throwing? The mood in class is normal so far but as soon as Wednesday reaches students will see ghost workers. These guys aren’t sure whether they will strike or go-slow on the matter like Kiraitu. Neither are they sure whether they need a 600% or 900% increase in salary.
We love our lecturers but who wants to stay in campus their whole lives. Dr.Newton Kulundu (Labor Minister) is not helping in treating the sickness and has declared the planned strike illegal. Meanwhile, I am left wondering whether I should pack or stay put and read for CATs (and RATs). One might get a D or A grade according to a lecturers gambling addictions but a riot/strike is inevitable in Kenyan Public Universities. Friends of mine have passed in subjects that they never attended. Ladies always face the possibility STGs (Sexually Transmitted Grades) from uncouth teachers. These lecturers are also known as one of my lady pals told me. The only thing that is constant in campus is strikes.
Our MPs started these fires and like our Fire Brigades they cannot stand the heat. The moment they got into power, they demanded their own salary increases and quickly voted themselves into instant millionaires. Councilors also wanted a piece of the pie and the rest of the civil servants are following. The whole labour force is out for more of the legal tender.
I am turning my cheek too often because it seems one good slap deserves another!
