Politics screwed things long ago. More of siasa iliharibu Kenya. Notice how the VC is nameless but President Kenyatta is mentioned. Media wanakula mzuri sana.
A university should be a place of serious intellectual discourse, not a campaign arena. Oh, and was someone building a cupboard nearby during the speech? There is a lot of hammering in the background.
The one hammering is the idiot called @nyundo wa komeo
Who dat?
Upus
This bagga wants to be Tharaka Nithi Governor and has been campaigning using the Varsitys funds esp the CSR function to discredit the current governor, n funny enough, he has a 70% chance of being governor in 2022 vile vitu ziko kwa ground saa hii. Kenyans…
This is Kenya. Riggathi Gachaggua has a very high chance of being DP’s running mate.
Kibakis deepstate members were majority University dons and kenya was moving forward well
You must be young otherwise you would have been familiar with the roles the likes of eshiwani, standa, chacha, kiptoon, gichaga played in the 90s. Those guys were a grade above some ministers…they mobilised, funded and whipped politicians in their respective communities
Nyayo used them to stifle opposition Lecturers and students in their Universities. He tapped their brains for strategy and also used them as a loyal cadre of supporters who couldn’t defect.
You must be a master of parallel systems to survive. The humiliation of intellectuals also dirties their hands when they want to speak up against you.
Many professors were given forest land in Karen. That shut their mouths completely
Even principals campaign openly and seriously for politicians in Kenya
Interesting. A VC to a governor is a deal
All public servants, including Vice Chancellors, serve the govt of the day, and must support the govt of the day, and the govt of the day today is headed by His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta EGH, Commander In Chief of Armed Forces.
Principals wa mashule kubwa huwa na kakitu sana
I remember one evening in 1997 a certain vc made a stopover at home in nakuru to say hi to my old man and I swear dude had a bag full of banknotes…he was heading to Western to buy our useless politicians. The late Eshiwani had several chase cars and several armed bodyguards
Why dont you say you are supporting him sir?
Not yet, am yet to decide. Am for the governors’ seat being rotational among the three subtribes of Tharaka Nithi, its time for a Tharaka son to be governor, Mzalendo Kibunja?
