There was drama at Uradi Primary School in Kisumu West, Kenya, during a meeting to discuss the management of the institution when parents attacked the head teacher over poor Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination results. .According to SDE, Yonah Oyugi found himself in hot soup when parents demanded an explanation on the poor results recorded by the school. They attacked him with chairs and stones, leaving him with multipleinjuries. .The parents accused the school head of mismanagement after attacking him in the presence of the pupils as the first term kicked. They also accused the principal of the school of abusing them alongside their children and mismanagement of funds at the schools.Oyugi, however, denied the claims terming them baseless. Sources indicate that only 4 of the 27 candidates who sat for theexaminations scored 200 and above, with the best student getting 238 out of a total of 500.
A giant ribbon will not hang in front of the White House. No marches
will be held. The lights on the Empire State building will not shine a
special color. Instead, March 24th - World TB Day-is just like most
any other day. Little attention will be paid to the fact that
tuberculosis is now the number one infectious disease killer in the
world.
TB has long been the stepchild of the three major global health
diseases - AIDS, TB and malaria. A major reason why is that TB
primarily impacts people living in poverty, those who are voiceless or
whose voices are simply ignored. It is ironic that a curable disease
remains a disease fighting to gain attention.
It is also ironic that at a time when Ebola and Zika have put our
nation on notice about serious health threats, the same concern is not
given to TB, which can spread like wildfire just by coughing. We need
to look no further than Marion, Alabama to see how quickly TB can
overwhelm a city. TB in Marion is now worsethan in man...
