    "content": "I agree with my colleague that by removing all forms of punishment in schools, we are giving a lot of leeway for wayward children to influence even the good ones. It is high time we looked back. The other day I went to a secondary school and the children introduced themselves. The head girl introduced herself as the “governoress”. She also said that there is a governor and yet these are very big titles. I do not think these people have reached a level where they can command or rule the rest of the students. This is because they still need guidance. Very good schools are being destroyed, for example, the students of Kabarnet High School are now at home or if they went back, then that must have been yesterday. That is the only school in Baringo County that we can say is the best. This is very sad and we need the Departmental Committee to take the lead. They need to summon the Cabinet Secretary and everybody else to tell us what is happening. As a word of advice, the Cabinet Secretary for Education needs to employ public relations with all the stakeholders in the Ministry. He may have good intentions but he is a lone ranger in the way he does his things. Everyday pronouncements without consultations will backfire."
