In his tour, the governor has always preached harmonious co-existence of all the people living in Nyamira. <br /><br />In a quick rejoinder and out of panic mode, some leaders are now calling on their supporters to choose leaders based on their clans. In a video that has gone viral on social media, a crowd is cheering while being incited on the basis of classism. <br /><br />The sentiments have received wide spread condemnation across the county with some residents even calling on the DCI to act on the matter as it amount to hate speech. <br /><br />Nyamira County with four constituencies is composed of all the clans of the Abagusii which have lived harmoniously without any consummate profiling of the clans. For instance, Borabu constituency which is largely a settlement scheme does not have a dominant clan but a mixture of clans that secured plots of land after the white settlers left.www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-29305616636643526582022-05-02T05:04:00.005-07:002022-05-02T07:09:32.092-07:00Teachers of Nyamira county rally behind governor Amos Nyaribo<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal">While appreciating the good work done by the governor the

Amos Nyaribo</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>In his short time in office, the education sector has seen tremendous
positive impact. For instance, the ECDE teachers who have been sidelined for quite
a long time can now breathe a sigh of relief after the county government
commenced a program of employing them on permanent and pensionable terms. He
has been consistent in ensuring that our young children in the pre-primary level
are able to receive quality educational foundation which will catapult them
through the entire education system.<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The office of the first lady has occasionally moved round
ECDE centers with a view of assessing the learning conditions of the children
and encouraging the teachers in the field. The first lady who at one time was a
high school teacher has a clear understanding of the teaching profession and she is
determined to see an improvement in regard to the educational standards in the
county.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The governor occasionally conducts meetings with teachers as
stake holders in the education sector with an intention of understanding the
challenges they go through in the course of discharging their duties and the probable
interventions. The teachers have proposed for the county government to increase
the bursary kitty to enable more of needy learners access education. The
teachers have also proposed to the county government to introduce scholarship programs for those teachers wishing to farther their studies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other spillover effect to the education sector include the
drilling of bore holes in every ward which means most schools will have access
to water. Most roads have been upgraded to all weather roads and some like the
Nyamira backstreet tarmacked by the county government, meaning more schools are
now being accessed with ease.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His excellence governor Amos Nyaribo is a man who talks less
but listens more, always firm but fair. With the achievements that we are able
to realize in his short period of time in office, it demonstrates that he is capable
of transforming Nyamira county not only in the education sector but also in all
other sectors.<o:p></o:p></p></div><i style="text-align: center;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span> <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span> </span>Edited by;</i><br /><i style="text-align: center;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>Erwin Mogusu ( a teacher, Nyamira county)</i><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span><br /></span></i></p></blockquote></blockquote>www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-87642946687441262952021-12-18T11:30:00.004-08:002021-12-18T12:18:29.512-08:00KUPPET 2021 ADC. Nothing to smile about.<br />Curtains have closed for this year’s KUPPET Annual Delegates Conference (ADC) that was held at Eldoret with nothing to smile about. The information emerging form the conference is that delegates talked tough on the issue of Teacher Professional Development (TPD) modules .<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjkfyUy-vaLukl52nMcWqtkx2WLlSZf5RKlqcuekgC2kKxz7w3cCS0MkRnYIYTOIfO20UFq5lDhZOWGG9tc7_AFOjZiyCfwLoetQxMc1iJSitSg2BmleG1ey_Sbz3mx3V-zA24HqkXQ9xJePfLczg3ovASIotk7XkCJCMcT-HWu5nwtusQuZwkfiY1X-w=s1040" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="1040" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjkfyUy-vaLukl52nMcWqtkx2WLlSZf5RKlqcuekgC2kKxz7w3cCS0MkRnYIYTOIfO20UFq5lDhZOWGG9tc7_AFOjZiyCfwLoetQxMc1iJSitSg2BmleG1ey_Sbz3mx3V-zA24HqkXQ9xJePfLczg3ovASIotk7XkCJCMcT-HWu5nwtusQuZwkfiY1X-w=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <br /><br />The framework governing the implementation of TPD was launched in the presence of the KUPPET leadership. The same leaders are now turning around to tell teachers that they are not aware on who is supposed to pay for the program that they launched. <br /><br />Farther they claimed that TSC is yet to release a circular on the implementation of TPD. This is to insinuate that as far as KUPPET is concerned, TPD is yet to begin and the several adverts about TPD on the mainstream media are yet to catch the eye of the union or that they are fake. <br /><br />Let me try to put some facts straight. <br /><br />TPD does not mean well for the teachers. Its intention was to curtail the teachers who were using their free time to acquire postgraduate certificates. The certificate could later be used by the teachers to secure greener pastures. As other employers set aside a fund to sponsor some of their employees for farther studies TSC is looking for ways of putting a barrier on it. The 30 year TPD course that has been introduced is a module only known to TSC. It is not something that can be recognized internationally.<br /><br />The teachers’ unions have this information but their stomachs have tied their hands. If they dare raise a finger on this issue, they can be stuffed to death just like what happen recently to KNUT. As at now it is TSC that decides to activate the exit button on the teachers’ portal for them to exit the union or to deactivate it. If the unions dance to the music of TSC, the exit button is always inactive. <br /><br />Teachers did object the introduction of another health insurance company that took all their medical allowance. They were of the view that NHIF can be enhanced to offer the services/products the second insurance cover was to bring on board but I can tell you that up to now teachers are forcefully paying two insurance companies. <br /><br />Where is the problem? <br /><br />The solution to the teachers’ woes is just simple. If it can be that a teacher will belong to a teachers’ union by default then everything will have been sorted. The threats of introducing an exit button that always threaten the stomachs of the union officials who speak on behalf of the teachers will be a thing of the past. <br /><br />TPD will be stopped but not now. The second insurance company for the teachers will be stopped but not now. It will happen at a time when teachers will have union officials who will be ready to sacrifice and go beyond the extra mile to make the unions more powerful. <br /><br />The unions could have taken time to discuss on how they can make their offices more powerful so as to protect the interests of the teachers but this did not happen because most of the officials are eying political seats on the forthcoming general elections hence disinterested on matters of the union.</div></div>www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-83333072784014383462021-07-14T06:34:00.000-07:002021-07-14T06:34:43.560-07:00Physics Form three holiday assignment<p> </p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: serif;">A balloon filled with organ gas has a volume of

In his submission, he argued that he will embrace the sociological approach to justice rather than the normative approach. The law is supposed to serve the society and not the society to serve the law. <div>Chitembwe, a judge of the high court in Kenya, stated that as of today there are more convicts of sexual offenses than those of robbery with violence. Now the question is, what might have happened? There could be more normative application of the law than the sociological application of the law. The judge said that he has read and to some extent agrees with the “<b>laws of Romeo and Juliet</b>” in the USA which provides that a person can legally have consensual sex with a minor provided that he or she is not more than a given number of years older, generally four years or less.</div><div>The Kenyan law provides a jail term for sexual offenders but judge Chitembwe wonders how a 19-year-old boy can be sentences to 50 years in jail for defiling a 17-year-old girl whom they have been courting for over three years and maybe even have children together. Who will take care of the children? The judicial officer should look at the circumstances of the case rather than to operate that when the ingredients of defilement are age, penetration and identification then go to prison, that should not be the duty of a judge.</div><div>In an earlier case the judge had ruled that when a minor walk into a man’s house, enjoys sex and goes back to her home, then the minor behaved as an adult and the case cannot be taken as defilement. In such a situation the man should not receive the same sentence as another man who forcefully pulls a minor into a bush and commits sex with her. Until recently, if a 17-year boy engages sex with a 17-year-old girl, the boy could be sentenced to a jail term for defilement as the girl is set free.</div><div>In general, the issue of sexual relationship is more of a societal problem than an issue of the courts. During the times of our grandfathers, matters related to sex and sexual relationship had precise guidelines which were strictly followed and cases of defilement were very uncommon. In the post-colonial period, boarding schools have been emphasized and in these schools, learners are rarely exposed to life skills.

The team office had been moving from one sub-county to another in what it termed as ‘meet the people tour’ and was remaining with two sub-counties (Manga and Masaba North). The day they were meeting the Manga Sub-county teachers Mr. Sonye was underway with his meeting at Nyamira sports club where he eventually declared to be running for the most powerful seat in the County KUPPET. <br /><br />The post of the executive secretary had attracted three contestants, Mr. Nyakweba (incumbent), Mr. Nyaanga and Mr. Marigwa before Mr. Sonye dived into the race. According to the political analysis, his declaration has introduced completely new arithmetic. <br /><br />To start with, team office was moving together fronting what they have been able to achieve as a show of solidarity and unity. Now they have to replace their preferred candidate for the post of secretary secondary for them to remain a complete team during the campaigns hoping that no more incumbents will break away from team office. <br /><br />Secondly the opposition was unable to come up with a strong complete team to face the incumbents. They were campaigning as individuals which had proved to be expensive and ineffective. While Mr. Sonye was giving his remarks at Nyamira on Sunday he promised to move to every sub-county and compose a formidable team for the purpose of this forthcoming elections. <br /><br />Mr. Sonye (terming himself ‘Yusuf bin Sonye’ on facebook), is an English and literature teacher at Machururiati secondary school. He got into KUPPET office during a by-election where he had been seen as an underdog barely two years ago. Since then his groundwork campaigns and mobilization ability can cause jitters to any contestant facing him in an election but for now it is a wait and see if he will manage to shutter Mr. Lewis Nyakweba’s dream of steering the KUPPET Nyamira for at least 20 years.</div>www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-32840914652937990242020-11-08T02:03:00.002-08:002020-11-08T02:53:04.029-08:00Joe Biden's full speech after becoming president-elect<br /><br /> My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken.<br /><br />They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory.<br /><br />A victory for “We the People.”<br /><br />We have won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of this nation — 74 million.<br /><br />I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me.<br /><br />I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify.<br /><br />Who doesn’t see red and blue states, but a United States.<br /><br />And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people.<br /><br />For that is what America is about: the people.<br /><br />And that is what our administration will be about.<br /><br />I sought this office to restore the soul of America.<br /><br />To rebuild the backbone of the nation — the middle class.<br /><br />To make America respected around the world again and to unite us here at home.<br /><br />It is the honor of my lifetime that so many millions of Americans have voted for this vision.<br /><br />And now the work of making this vision real is the task of our time.<br /><br />As I said many times before, I’m Jill’s husband.<br /><br />I would not be here without the love and tireless support of Jill, Hunter, Ashley, all of our grandchildren and their spouses, and all our family.<br /><br />They are my heart.<br /><br />Jill’s a mom — a military mom — and an educator.<br /><br />She has dedicated her life to education, but teaching isn’t just what she does — it’s who she is. For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great first lady.<br /><br />And I will be honored to be serving with a fantastic vice president — Kamala Harris — who will make history as the first woman, first Black woman, first woman of South Asian descent, and first daughter of immigrants ever elected to national office in this country.<br /><br />It’s long overdue, and we’re reminded tonight of all those who fought so hard for so many years to make this happen. But once again, America has bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice.<br /><br />Kamala, Doug — like it or not — you’re family. You’ve become honorary Bidens and there’s no way out.<br /><br />To all those who volunteered, worked the polls in the middle of this pandemic, local election officials — you deserve a special thanks from this nation.<br /><br />To my campaign team, and all the volunteers, to all those who gave so much of themselves to make this moment possible, I owe you everything.<br /><br />And to all those who supported us: I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse in history.<br /><br />Democrats, Republicans and Independents.<br /><br />Progressives, moderates and conservatives.<br /><br />Young and old.<br /><br />Urban, suburban and rural.<br /><br />Gay, straight, transgender.<br /><br />White. Latino. Asian. Native American.<br /><br />And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest — the African-American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I’ll have yours.<br /><br />I said from the outset I wanted a campaign that represented America, and I think we did that. Now that’s what I want the administration to look like.<br /><br />And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight.<br /><br />I’ve lost a couple of elections myself.<br /><br />But now, let’s give each other a chance.<br /><br />It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric.<br /><br />To lower the temperature.<br /><br />To see each other again.<br /><br />To listen to each other again.<br /><br />To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans.<br /><br />The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal.<br /><br />This is the time to heal in America.<br /><br />Now that the campaign is over — what is the people’s will? What is our mandate?<br /><br />I believe it is this: Americans have called on us to marshal the forces of decency and the forces of fairness. To marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time.<br /><br />The battle to control the virus.<br /><br />The battle to build prosperity.<br /><br />The battle to secure your family’s health care.<br /><br />The battle to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country.<br /><br />The battle to save the climate.<br /><br />The battle to restore decency, defend democracy, and give everybody in this country a fair shot.<br /><br />Our work begins with getting Covid under control.<br /><br />We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish life’s most precious moments — hugging a grandchild, birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us — until we get this virus under control.<br /><br />On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisers to help take the Biden-Harris Covid plan and convert it into an action blueprint that starts on Jan. 20, 2021.<br /><br />That plan will be built on a bedrock of science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern.<br /><br />I will spare no effort — or commitment — to turn this pandemic around.<br /><br />I ran as a proud Democrat. I will now be an American president. I will work as hard for those who didn’t vote for me — as those who did.<br /><br />Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end — here and now.<br /><br />The refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not due to some mysterious force beyond our control.<br /><br />It’s a decision. It’s a choice we make.<br /><br />And if we can decide not to cooperate, then we can decide to cooperate. And I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate.<br /><br />That’s the choice I’ll make. And I call on the Congress — Democrats and Republicans alike — to make that choice with me.<br /><br />The American story is about the slow, yet steady widening of opportunity.<br /><br />Make no mistake: Too many dreams have been deferred for too long.<br /><br />We must make the promise of the country real for everybody — no matter their race, their ethnicity, their faith, their identity, or their disability.<br /><br />America has always been shaped by inflection points — by moments in time where we’ve made hard decisions about who we are and what we want to be.<br /><br />Lincoln in 1860 — coming to save the Union.<br /><br />F.D.R. in 1932 — promising a beleaguered country a New Deal.<br /><br />J.F.K. in 1960 — pledging a New Frontier.<br /><br />And 12 years ago — when Barack Obama made history — and told us, “Yes, we can.”<br /><br />We stand again at an inflection point.<br /><br />We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build a nation of prosperity and purpose.<br /><br />We can do it. I know we can.<br /><br />I’ve long talked about the battle for the soul of America.<br /><br />We must restore the soul of America.<br /><br />Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses.<br /><br />It is time for our better angels to prevail.<br /><br />Tonight, the whole world is watching America. I believe at our best America is a beacon for the globe.<br /><br />And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.<br /><br />I’ve always believed we can define America in one word: possibilities.<br /><br />That in America everyone should be given the opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God-given ability will take them.<br /><br />You see, I believe in the possibility of this country.<br /><br />We’re always looking ahead.<br /><br />Ahead to an America that’s freer and more just.<br /><br />Ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect.<br /><br />Ahead to an America that cures disease — like cancer and Alzheimers.<br /><br />Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind.<br /><br />Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in.<br /><br />This is a great nation.<br /><br />And we are a good people.<br /><br />This is the United States of America.<br /><br />And there has never been anything we haven’t been able to do when we’ve done it together.<br /><br />In the last days of the campaign, I’ve been thinking about a hymn that means a lot to me and to my family, particularly my deceased son, Beau. It captures the faith that sustains me and which I believe sustains America.<br /><br />And I hope it can provide some comfort and solace to the more than 230,000 families who have lost a loved one to this terrible virus this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well.<br /><br />“And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings,<br /><br />Bear you on the breath of dawn,<br /><br />Make you to shine like the sun,<br /><br />And hold you in the palm of His Hand.”<br /><br />And now, together — on eagle’s wings — we embark on the work that God and history have called upon us to do.<br /><br />With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with a love of country — and a thirst for justice — let us be the nation that we know we can be.<br /><br />A nation united.<br /><br />A nation strengthened.<br /><br />A nation healed.<br /><br />The United States of America.<br /><br />God bless you.<br /><br />And may God protect our troops.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNcB8goX27vRvHBpDnlVW6zxFe4YPbZLKeEbgX6ikN_iBPO1WO8KiLkCi_AzLmbL1ir73FzHDYgBSWnNuuuRUB_-3yJPdLkWE3ZHeF_oejzILOu6esare3C-l2mc3xcYUMcPqY9WEz_W8/s318/download.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNcB8goX27vRvHBpDnlVW6zxFe4YPbZLKeEbgX6ikN_iBPO1WO8KiLkCi_AzLmbL1ir73FzHDYgBSWnNuuuRUB_-3yJPdLkWE3ZHeF_oejzILOu6esare3C-l2mc3xcYUMcPqY9WEz_W8/w113-h16/download.jpg" /></a>www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-36054926244001881212020-09-21T04:00:00.001-07:002020-09-21T04:41:57.073-07:00Puzzles at the education ministryEducation ministry can be considered as one of the most puzzling as far as the handling of Covid-19 is concerned at least if the public court is anything to go by.<br />
Schools were closed when the country had only three cases and now teachers have been asked to report back to school to prepare for a possible reopening when the country is recording an average of 100 Covid-19 cases daily. Teachers are to report back to school without knowing the specific date when learners are to report back. Anyway teachers have always been in touch with the schools.<br />
As learners were away from schools the ministry maintained that the national exams were to be done as scheduled to a point where everyone was ' let us wait and see'. Eventually the ministry bowed to pressure and announced that it cannot be possible to conduct national examination this year. And farther said that this academic year is considered lost only to wake up today and ask teachers to report to school when even bars have not been allowed to open up.<br />
Teachers are to report back to school when the government's Covid-19 containment measures are yet to be relaxed. The 9 pm curfew is still effect and the government's appeal for people to work from home hasn't been lifted. The education cabinet secretary has been moving from one educational institution to another measuring the social distancing between the desks and that social distancing rule is still in place even in the matatus. That means teachers will have to pay more on public transport.<br />
Let the government open up the economy before letting the teachers from all over the world to congregate in schools. Teachers should not be used to test the waters for Covid-19.<br />
The ministry of education did make an effort to conduct online learning. The exercise has been termed as step in the right direction. The major drawback has been the low number of learner who could access the matriamls. If the ministry could have been creative enough, it could have made use of other agencies like the poster Kenya to deliver materials closer to the learners.<br />
But however much the management of the education ministry is proving to be tricky, it should be noted the professor Magoha who is the current education SC, was at the helm of the Kenya National Examination Council and made tremendous positive reforms.www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-29854970541167423142020-06-08T04:07:00.000-07:002020-06-08T05:44:07.891-07:00Teachers’ investments headed South as Spire bank is on the spot againSpire bank, a bank largely owned by teachers is on the headlines again all for the wrong reasons. It should be noted that all along the teachers have been against the acquisition of the bank but contrary to their wishes the top management of Mwalimu National Holding (MNH) still controls the bank. MNH spent over 2 billion in order for the bank to meet the minimum capital requirements to operate. The capital injection has now become a norm with the teachers who have invested in the Mwalimu National Sacco continue to receive reduced dividends on their investments.<br />
According to the business daily, the bank has already recorded a loss of 254.7 million in the first quota of this year which already projects a negative impact on the teachers' dividends this year. It is the members' prayer that the bank won't be placed under receivership by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) which will mean that the members won't access their savings but will be required to be servicing their loans.<br />
In a letter to the members of the Mwalimu National Sacco dated June 3rd, 2020, the Sacco confirms to the members that it is aware of the misfortunes of the bank but there is no turnaround strategy on the table as at now. The Sacco blamed the Covid-19 pandemic on slowing down the strategies that could have been put in place to save the teachers investments.<br />
Early this year the CEO of the bank, Mr. Onesmus Muia was suspected of practicing unethical behaviors. In the accusations it was alleged that Mr. Muia was working unlawfully with law firms to raise fabricated fees against the bank which will then be sent to Mr. Muia's personal bank account at Family bank in Ruiru. As at the third week of January, Mr. Muia's bank account had over KSh. 76 million. <a href="https://kenyanbulletin.com/2020/01/27/reprobate-spire-bank-ceo-on-the-spot-over-allegations-of-fraud-and-money-laundry-hiring-police-officers-to-intimidate-whistle-blowers/">For more on that story click here.</a><br />
Lastly it should be noted that the members are systematically losing grip with the Mwalimu National Sacco. A good example is the Nyamira branch. After the lapse of the term of four delegates representing the members in the Sacco, the branch has been unable to replace the delegates or mandate them to continue representing the members. That means the branch is operating short of four delegates bearing in mind that the term of three other delegates is lapsing this year.<br />
Now teaches are a worried lot that if nothing is done urgently, things are headed South.<br />

officials is first approaching, the vigor for new members to take up the posts
is at a very low gear. Teachers specifically in Nyamira branch have been
expecting the current office bearers and the members warming up for the posts
to be on the forefront in mobilizing members for the forthcoming elections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">It should be noted that there are several
teachers, and in that matter, members of the union who have never participated
in choosing of their union leaders. These include those teachers who have been
employed within the last five years. During this period, neither the employer nor
the union has had the cutesy to invite them for a meeting and induct them or
listen to the challenges they are facing in their new work places. That group
of teachers need a lot of guidance in regard to union elections and union mandate.
That guidance should start now and not later. The incumbents should tell these
group of teachers what they haven't done that they need to do or what they will
do differently if reelected. <span> </span>Previously
TSC has been calling for induction meeting for new teachers but that has not
happened since the year 2012. It was a good practice that could have been maintained
or the union should have taken it up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">There is another group of long serving teachers
who have never seen the reason of joining a union. Such teachers think that
joining a union or not joining is just the same. Just like some naive individuals
in our society think that voting in a general election or not voting wouldn't affect
their way of life. Let me remind them even if they could be in the inner circles
of the current school administrations and they do not expect any push and pull
that may require the intervention of the union officials, union leaders make
decisions that can affect our profession significantly. For instance, at this
time of the pandemic, their advice to the government to or not to open schools
is weighty, union officials can decide to sponsor teachers to attend professional
development seminars among other things. Therefore, choosing the right leaders
in the union is protecting our professional integrity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you take a look at the organizations of
other professions like the law society of the Kenya (LSK), choosing their
leaders is so competitive to an extent of even igniting debates in our national
television stations. Here in our union things are so soundless that even the
members are now requesting to know if there are other contests apart from the
current office bearers. Mwalimu Atari has posted in the various Nyamira
teachers WhatsApp groups requesting the various aspirants to come out. Only a
few have shown interest of tackling incumbents. They include;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><font face="times new roman, serif"><b>Vice-chair</b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif;">Renson Mokaya</span></li></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><font face="times new roman, serif"><b>Ass.

Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), is growing to be a giant in articulating education matters in general and issues affecting the Kenyan teacher in particular. The growth of the union can be attributed to the increased sensitization of the teachers, the preserved good and genuine leadership in KUPPET, infighting within the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) which is now scaring new teachers from joining it, to list but a few.<br />
<br />
In Kenya, teachers constitute the largest cohort of government employees followed by the police who are not allowed to form or join a union. This means that the influence of a person in a leadership position in a giant teachers’ union such as KUPPET is overwhelming. Such a person is expected to not only deal with education matters but a wide spectrum of issues in the society which normally catapults such individuals to others leadership positions including in the county governments or the national assembly leaving the union positions for other teachers.<br />
<br />
The post of the executive secretary is the most powerful among all the posts in the union. As the date for choosing the next officials draws nearer, in Nyamira the executive secretary’s position seems like it will be a one horse race. According to the survey conducted in the last two weeks, the incumbent executive secretary Mr. Lewis Nyakweba has clear upper hand of retaining the seat if he still contests. The survey included four other office bearers who were expected to be influential in matters relating to KUPPET politics.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmSyrBb8vKwzq0Yj2DXtHUMryabVFp0LGSoNbtNYiqwd_gA2NoGNAQt4jqqaGV7oOLPufM5hCc1LYTm7OcNAlPhZfvObxxWeBgtz-LAAkZq5h4B6RI-7sG-mPVIhEuzHDS8BRwHpmhMMHz/s1600/Capture2.PNG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmSyrBb8vKwzq0Yj2DXtHUMryabVFp0LGSoNbtNYiqwd_gA2NoGNAQt4jqqaGV7oOLPufM5hCc1LYTm7OcNAlPhZfvObxxWeBgtz-LAAkZq5h4B6RI-7sG-mPVIhEuzHDS8BRwHpmhMMHz/s1600/Capture2.PNG" /></a><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Enij_AeFVwDSw2-mGWBrtn3G-xOGAYWAUu6KlVSOMGPsO0YI5hspzDB_CTVTlRAlLdOAHKTxxTARhimxTIdXXd7uWD1my150KHv-OBumsCc3phNj1GUFrRyMDwsyhmzry0s8_j_iqKDP/s1600/Capture1.PNG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Enij_AeFVwDSw2-mGWBrtn3G-xOGAYWAUu6KlVSOMGPsO0YI5hspzDB_CTVTlRAlLdOAHKTxxTARhimxTIdXXd7uWD1my150KHv-OBumsCc3phNj1GUFrRyMDwsyhmzry0s8_j_iqKDP/s1600/Capture1.PNG" /></a><br />
<br />
This indicates that Mr. Nyakweba is getting a thumbs up for the leadership he is offering in the Nyamira KUPPET. It should be noted that Nyamira had a successful AGM where all attendants were issued with branded KUPPET t-shirts and most teacher were accorded an opportunity to air their comments on how the union can grow farther. Moreover, the union has come out strongly to support the co-curriculum activities in the county by either issuing t-shirts, trophies and even drinking water among other incentives. Attendance of a KUPPET official during the opening or closing ceremony of a co-curriculum activity in the county is now a norm. Although the Nyamira teachers would like to see more pronounced progress like acquiring a KUPPET bus and acquiring land for its offices, it indicates that the small progress and the good gesture of Mr. Nyakweba’s leadership of the union is resonating well with the teachers.<br />

<br />
The executive secretary has also been in the frontline in advising teachers on matters pertaining the teaching profession and even defending them whenever they are wrongly or rightfully accused. He always attends teachers’ activities like workshops and Mwalimu National Sacco AGMs to bring the support, power and prestige of his office. During such functions he will not miss to throw one or two pieces of advice to the teachers either through the microphone line or informally in small groupings before or after the meeting.<br />
<br />
The survey also shows that a small number of teachers were ready to participate for various reasons. Others feared that maybe their identities could be revealed not knowing that the website used doesn't have the provision of knowing who voted. It only keeps record of the electronic device that has voted to avoid voting more than once from the same device. It could also exemplify the tendency of humans that they can't be asked to vote without proper campaign and mobilization including transportation (in this case bundles to go online). Thirdly and less significant is that some teachers may have not known how to participate in the online voting. Contrary, in the neighboring Kisii county, in every survey it records over 300 participants.<br />

As I conclude, I would like to wish you a happy freedom day that will be celebrated on Sunday the third day of May the year 2020.<br />

light rays from a distant object are focused in front of the retina; while
those from a near object are clearly focused on the retina; it is caused by an
abnormally elongated eyeball; or too much refractive power of the eye lens; it
is corrected by wearing concave/diverging lenses; which help to diverge light
rays; or reduce the refractive power of the eye before they reach the eye lens;
Long-sightedness (Hypermetropia); light rays from a near object are not focused
by the time they reach the retina; or may be focused behind the retina; while
the rays from a distant object are sharply focused; the defect is caused by an
eyeball that is too short; or a weak lens system (distance between lens and the
retina is short); corrected by wearing a convex/converging lens; which refracts
light rays before reaching the eye lens; this enhances refraction resulting in
rays being sharply focused onto the retina; Astigmatism; rays from an object
are brought to focus on different planes; due to unequal curvature of the
cornea/lens; causing unequal refraction of light entering the eye; this defect
is corrected by wearing special cylindrical lens in front of the eye; the lens
corrects the focus in the defective planes; Colour-blindness; a genetic defect;
in which an animal is unable to distinguish between colours particularly within
the red-green spectrum; the retina lacks cones; pigments that respond to colour
vision; Squintedness; an eye defect in which extrinsic muscles of the eye; that
controls the turning of the eyeball do not co-ordinate accordingly on
stimulation; it affects the paired rectus muscles that move the eyeball up and
down; and the lateral rectus muscles that move the eyeball left to right; the
eyeballs therefore face different directions; making focusing and accommodation
difficult to achieve; corrected by specialized surgery; Old sight (Presbyopia);
caused by old age; when supplies of nutrients and oxygen to the lens is far
much reduced; hence the cells of the lens die; the lens’ elasticity is reduced;
and hence cannot change shape; and becomes fixed into a shape that is not
suitable for distant vision; managed by use of ‘reading glasses’ that have
converging lenses; to give the eyes an extra power to manage close work;
Cataracts; associated with old age; but may also be caused by an eye injury due
to a blow; or complications of diabetes
mellitus; the eye lens become cloudy; blocking transmission of light rays;
protein fibres become denatured; and clump together making the lens opaque;
corrected by surgery; to replace the defective lens with a normal one from a
donor; or use of artificial lens;</span>www.omogusu.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10406825980454555977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836825087707940751.post-32862981975651792582020-04-30T04:08:00.002-07:002020-04-30T04:08:03.871-07:00Discuss the composition and functions of mammalian blood<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 103%;">Mammalian blood consists of two main components:
Blood plasma; and the blood cells; (Red blood cells/Erythrocytes, White blood
cells/Leucocytes and Platelets/Thrombocytes); Blood plasma transport nutrients (glucose, amino acids, vitamins,
fatty acids and glycerol, dissolved oxygen) to tissues; transports hormones,
enzymes/metabolic regulators to target organs and tissues; Transport excretory
substances/wastes from the cells; to excretory organs for elimination from the
body; Distribute heat energy; helping in thermoregulation; transports/contains
water, plasma proteins and dissolved mineral salts; important in
osmoregulation; Suspends blood cells; Red blood cells transport oxygen; and
dissolved carbon (IV) oxide; helps in regulation of pH; White blood cells help
in protection/immunity; by engulfing or producing antibodies to kill/destroy
invading micro-organisms/pathogens; Platelets help in blood clotting;
preventing excessive blood loss; entry of pathogens; and promotes healing of
wounds; <b>Acc.

brain; and the spinal cord; and nerve fibres; that serve the sensory organs ;
and the effector organs and glands; the brain is a collection of
millions/billions/10<sup>9</sup> neurones; that form the biggest ganglion; it
is highly convoluted; to provide a large surface area for impulse reception,
processing and transmission; the brain and the spinal cord are protected by the
meninges; the brain and the spinal cord have spaces/canals and ventricles;
filled with a cerebrospinal fluid; which acts as a bridge/supply medium for
oxygen and nutrients; and the removal of metabolic waste; the brain has centres
for the storage; retrieval and processing of impulses; the cerebrum processes
and stores information; the cerebellum; sends impulses to joints and muscles;
to correct balance; the medulla oblongata sends impulses to the cardiovascular;
and breathing/ventilation systems; to regulate them; the brain has the
hypothalamus that secretes a neurosecretion to influence a pituitary gland that
secretes hormones; involved in reproduction; and homeostatic functions; the
hypothalamus; detects changes in temperature; and osmotic pressure; and sends
impulses to relevant effector organs for their regulation; the thalamus;
receives majority of the impulses and channels them to the relevant areas of
the brain; both the brain and the spinal cord have regions of the grey matter;
that enable very rapid processing/transmission of impulses; the nervous system
has neurones (relay/intermediate, motor and sensory); that transmit impulses at
a very rapid note/speed (100 ms<sup>-1</sup>) to and from the central nervous
system to effect suitable responses; there exists in the central nervous system
an electrochemical gradient/concentration gradient; that allows for the
generation of electrical impulses; they have numerous mitochondria; for
generating energy for the function of the sodium pump; which enables
polarization and repolarisation; during impulse transmission and
refractory/recovery periods; the spinal cord has no integration/association
functions and is therefore suited for reflex actions; needed in emergencies;
the spinal cord is long; and connects nerve fibres of the peripheral nerves
with the brain for storage of information; the spinal cord has a dorsal root
for sensory fibres/neurones; and a ventral root; for motor neurones/fibres;
