Teachers strike....the government's point of view

The government of the Republic of Kenya must be appalled by the looming teacher’s strike. It is a real shocker some very lazy individuals decide to lay down their tools at whim at the detriment of the education sector. Who do they think they are? The government has no money to finance more chalk eating. The treasury has a god given mandate to ensure that our members of parliament are paid well.

You know, if you pay an MP well, he can have more mistresses, travel more, driver a bigger guzzler and off course decide to donate e some money to teachers. Basically teachers are greedy, self-centered lot who have forgotten that we don’t need them? Who needs that many teachers anyway yet we can use laptops to teach via Skype?

Who cares about whether they strike or not? Our children just like any other Kenyan who is not a thankless leech that thrives off the government’s donation we will take our children to high cost academies. You know, good education is important and it comes at a price.

So, strike, we have already paid teachers well and they do not deserve any other additional coin. We have realized that teachers are a noisy bunch that deserves no attention at all. Who has ever died of poor education? They demand for more money and yet they are still demanding for the recruitment of more noise makers. What a god-forsaken noisy bunch. It beats logic for one to claim for better pay and yet demand for the work load to be reduced.

Why would a teacher demand for more yet they only teach a minimum of 28 lessons per week? Extra work? What extra work is there in preparing or lessons, marking assignments and just doing what we pay them to do. The problem with teachers is that they are too ambitious. Why on earth would they need commute allowance. A simple thing, they should buy a black mamba bicycle. For a meager 10 thousand shillings their travel woes would be solved for the next 10years.

Medical cover? Didn’t they listen to mwalimu Dida? Why would they over eat yet they know it would make them ill. Mwarobahini (neem tree) is sufficient cure for more than 40 ailments. If a teacher decides to contract any disease not covered within the broad-spectrum cure  of mwarobaini, shida yako. How on earth do you choose a disease not among the 40 electives offered?

Who says you must go to an hospital, as teacher you can select a good mganga, one of those guys that cure mapenzi, kufura  nguvu za kiume na kike na umaskini.

Hardship allowance kitu gani! What hardships?  The government does not create hardships, hence it is not obligated to assist in any way that may seem to mitigate the situation. The work of the government to pay you enough to remain alive, while ensuring proper balance with m.ps salaries.We can not afford to disappoint MPs, can  we? How do you think we finance hiring of the hustler’s jet? We must keep the number 1 hustler happy and well massaged.
