RE: SUSPENSION OF 17 STUDENTS FROM YOUR INSTITUTION BY FORCING THEM TO SIT FOR EXAMS THEREFORE CONTRAVENING ARTICLE 32 & 24 OF THE CONSTITUTION.

The above matter refers stemming from your action of 20th January 2020 in which you irregularly suspended 17 students for allegedly refusing to sit for an exam on their Sabbath day contrary to the law full particulars are well within your knowledge.

Please be informed that your action offends Articles 24 and 32 of out Constitutions which talks about limitation of fundamental rights and freedom of conscience, religion belief and opinion. This position on the freedom of worship of students has further been buttressed by the Courts in the cases of SDA East Africa & Fugicha where it has reiterated that schools can never be enclaves where students do not enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms.

The court ruled that Article 32 of the constitution of Kenya can only be limited in the framework provided for by Article 24. Article 32 guarantees every citizen freedom to manifest his or her religion through observance of its teachings, among other things.
SDA doctrines are anchored on observance of the Holy Sabbath that starts from Sunset on Friday to Sunset on Saturday. How to observe it is well expounded by Exodus 20 v 8.
Alliance High school's action to denying SDA Students right to oversee the Sabbath was declared as outright violation of the constitution and it was ordered to reinstate any student expelled on grounds of refusing to attend classes on Sabbath which is similar to Kabianga High School action.

In the case of Mohamed Fugicha v Methodist church in Kenya (the Court of Appeal -Waki, Nambuye & Kiage), the court rendered itself thus

"We do not accept that schools are enclaves that are outside the reach of the sunshine of liberty and freedom that the Constitution sheds. Students do not abandon their constitutional rights when they enter the school gate to regain them when they leave. Nor can fundamental rights and freedoms be contracted away in the name and at the altar of education. Schools cannot raise an estoppel against the Constitution. No one can. We are firm in our assessment that students in Kenya are bearers and exercisers of the full panoply guarantees in our Bill of Rights and they are no less entitled to those rights by reason only of being within school gates."
Kabianga High School Administration must be guided by the existing laws of the Land. Anything else is capricious, vacuous and Wednesbury unreasonable.
No amount of blogging will justify such brazen violation of constitutional rights of the affected students.

Accordingly, this is to demand, which we hereby do that you forthwith readmit the 17 suspended students within the 7 days with apologies to their parents failure to which we shall commence legal proceedings without further reference to you at your peril.

Yours faithfully,

*THE MISTAKEN NARRATIVE OF THE NAYSAYERS AND THEIR MASTER SOSSION*
*#HypnoticSurrogatesAreWorshipingJohanLikeDrunkenZombies*

The naysayers must blame Sossion for their tribulations and stop looking fudging and looking for excuses. If anyone somewhere thinks that teachers were not listening and following his activities as he messed the the union and lives of those who followed him blindly. #Team sanity will always be privy to his monkey plans and be ready to separate truth from lies. Sossion knows that teachers aren't after him#InvalidatedDueToHisPoorLeadershipSkills#TeachersAren'tIntetestedInKnut. Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come#TeachersMoneyMustn'tBeRemittedToKnutAccount.

Kenyan judiciary must uphold Constitutionalism and stand firm without taking receiving blood money to hold brief to a none teachers whose uncontrollable appetite is teachers hard earned money in the name of union dues. It's always saddening that ELRC issues unbelievable orders. Then the former Knut Sg misplaced anger castigates our Employer TSC. He must stop blaming TSC Top leadership. Sossion himself is the problem. He's the one misusing the court process with fake orders.

Despots Sossion is yet to subvert the Unions constitution once again, by not consulting the NEC "his plan of moving to court to file a case of non remittance of union dues of teachers who aren't members of Knut". Jonah is trying very hard to impose himself on the Kenyan teachers so that they can help him cling to the position of Sg of the now dead union. *#HeHasfailed*

THE SHAME OF MUMIAS, KAKAMEGA COUNTY, WHERE LEARNERS SWIM ACROSS A DANGEROUS RIVER TO SCHOOL FOR LACK OF A BRIDGE

Citizen TV has chosen to shame us, by beaming a story of kids dressing in their school uniform, then undressing before the cameras as they jump into the river.. swim across, then dress up and run to school. Wololo... aibu kwetu!!

Imagine starting your school day by swimming across a dirty cold river, to school?

This has become the norm for some school children in Mumias East, Kakamega county.


The journey to school for pupils of Petros Primary School requires them to have swimming skills.

30% of these pupils literally swim to and from school everyday, a task that is slowly affecting their performance.

“Hawafiki shuleni wakati unaofaa kwa sababu ya kukosa daraja… wanaanza masomo karibu saa tatu, saa tatu na nusu,” said Wilberforce Wabuti, the school principal.

One of the students spoke to Citizen TV and narrated how they have to swim across without their uniform, holding their school books above the head so that they don’t get wet.

“Tunatoa uniform tunavukisha, alafu tunarudia vitabu, tunarudi tunavukisha wale wadogo ndio twende shule,” Tekla Lumbas said.

Her schoolmate Dorcas Awinja added: “Saa zingine asubuhi tunapata kama maji iko mingi tunangoja kidogo ndio tupite.”


Other routes have proved challenging not only for pupils of Petros Primary but also other schools in the area.

CONCLUSION
This story which has repeatedly been beamed on Citizen TV for the last one week has made us so ashamed. That as the sanator of Kakamega ... one Cleo Malala yaps on TV about.. BBI... Building Bridges.. initiative...the same tv shows how our future as mulembe nation have no Bridge to connect to that future. Shame on you politicians of Kakamega, shame on me... shame on all of us.

*HOW PRIVATEER HOSPITALS ARE MAKING A KILL FROM TEACHERS MEDICAL COVER*

Today's front page in the Sunday Nation gives us the worst story I have read in the recent times. The writers begin a part one story of how doctors are making a killing from patients. I personally do a lot of work behind the scenes assisting teachers get medical attention. But what has always shocked me is that many teachers DO NOT KNOW that there medical insurance cover just like ALL MEDICAL covers has a limit. A p1 teacher for example cannot have a medical cover equivalent to a chief principal at Tho gotoThogoto TTC. Each teacher according to your job grade and experience, has limits ranging from inpatient of 500,000 to 2 million.

NOW, according to today's Nation, hospitals like Nairobi Women's and Mediheal, use bloggers and various marketing gimmicks to lure teachers to visit their hospitals. Once at their facilities, a teacher is subjected to various tests and investigations in their labs. A teacher who may not be seriously ill will then be booked in for a forced admission so as to meet targets. And on the day of discharge from hospital, what Mediheal or Nairobi Women's do is they lie to you that the Internet is NOT working or the lines are down or simply, AON MINET are NOT authorizing your discharge. Truth is.. THEY HAVE NOT EVEN send your discharge bill to MINET. That means you spend another 2 or 3 or even 1 week in hospital waiting to be discharged. As this happens, the very hospital is milking your account dry because you pay heavily for every night spent in their hospital. By the time you are discharged your limit is over, or you are forced to do a harrambee to clear your bill. Worse is.. it means for the entire year, you or your family will never enjoy the inpatient medical cover since you have exhausted your limit.

*CONCLUSION*
The overzealous private hospitals paying bloggers to market them with spender and glorious pictures are the biggest thieves of teacher insurance cover. They are fraudsters. When a deal looks to good.. THINK TWICE. SHAME ON U NAIROBI WOMEN'S HOSPITAL and MEDIHEAL for stealing from poor teachers.

MEDIHEAL HOSPITAL GROUPS THAT UNKNOWN TEACHER BLOGGERS ARE TRYING TO SELL AS THE PROPRIETOR IS MINTING MILLIONS THROUGH FICTITIOUS BILLINGS

Teachers have been treated to some drama in the recent days by Olivia Pope, Ongoro Miruka aka the Conman, Janet Nzisa and Joseh about one Health Facility . Mediheal Hospital Group has been quoted immensely by teachers for wrong reasons. The aforementioned bloggers are copy pasting the brochures and posting on teachers wall in the name of marketing the facility, while not being creative and original with their own ideas.

Teachers who advocate without double speak have in many occasions enlightened teachers about evils committed against their unsuspecting colleagues by Mediheal Hospital group. But what surprised me is how teachers are advocating for their fellow comrades to fall sick and get medication at Mediheal in exchange for kickbacks. #HawaNiwanjingaSana.Why allow your stomachs to buy your reasoning and integrity?

The teething questions that teachers should seek answers for is Why Not Nairobi Hospital,Kenyatta or Aghakan , and well established hospitals to market themselves. Mediheal is a scandalous, with cartels controlled by Mugwe Macharia Executive Secretary of Knut Nairobi Branch .

Mediheal for instance use bloggers to popularise their facilities while they offer substandard services and frustrate teachers who have gone for medication.
Finally, as team sanity we shall be revealing in real time the scandals within the Mediheal hospital that has been stealing from the teachers medical cover. Some people have been insinuating that a deal went sour and that precipitated some bloggers to go offensive. Nothing of the sort can be further from truth as some cartels wanted to use those bloggers to tarnish their image. They decided to give it a wide berth. MEDIHEAL HEIST loading for the evils committed and still against teachers
