"content": "One, trying to forcefully train people means that you are aggrieving, angering and annoying them. It is likely to achieve nothing. If you make people who are properly trained angry because of the manner in which you are forcing that training on them, they are likely to be angrier. When they are angry, an angry employee is unlikely to handle this. How are the relevant authorities who are involved in this going to manage the anger that will be a consequence of this forced training? Two, it is important to tell the nation and the teachers the rewards associated with this training. You cannot talk to them about promotions. The owner of the Statement has indicated factually that you cannot promote 300,000 people. There are no such positions. Are there salaries that will be added to them? Are there allowances? Are there benefits that are consequences of this forced training? That must be told to all of us and to the teachers so that they are motivated towards getting trained. Thirdly, it is important for all employees to have a work-life balance. There are teachers who are elderly and others who are young and have just gotten into the family way. If you ask them to plan to be away from their families, loved ones and side businesses for a whole 30 years, what the hell are you telling them? These people have functional lives. They took up that employment knowing that they were fully trained. In the middle of their plans and lives, you now tell them that something compulsory has come up. It is going to affect how they operate and relate to other people, including what they are doing right now, for 30 years. Did the planers look at the work-life balance that is required for the welfare of this very important profession? There are many of us who would like to speak to this topic. Lastly, how did these people, including Prof. Mogoha, identify what they think the teachers did not have, so that they have the temerity of claiming that our teachers who taught you--- You are one of the best professors I know. I also think that I am one of the best students they ever taught. Uhuru Kenyatta is one of the best presidents they ever taught. Raila Odinga is one of the best engineers. Hon. Ruto is one of the best PhD holders they taught. So, what is it that we learnt wrongly that teachers have to be re-engineered to teach us? We are leaders. All of us should then go back to school and be taught again."
