Independence Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

These questions, when answered, give an insight to the longing of every community or society to develop what is theirs, and this requires autonomy. A people's sense of pride comes out clearly here. Moreover, our own independence is shown everyday by the way we make decisions for our personal benefit and the benefit of society at large.

Writer Profile
Mbũrũ


I am a researcher on educational issues especially in the rural areas, with much emphasis on girls' education.

As a trained journalist, I have a lot of concern with the handling of the education sub-sector in Kenya and take a critical role in viewing the reforms currently being conducted to integrate education structures for the sake of the youth in Kenya.

One major aspect, sadly, is that Kenya has been sovereign for over four decades but has been the only African country besides Somalia not to have made education compulsory, free and basic. For Somalia it can be understood - the country had been in civil strife since 1992- but for Kenya the politics of the day have played a negative role in reducing the promotion of education to a system sheer competition, instead of progressive

Apart from that, I write fictitious literature.
Currently I am working on prose on love and betrayal and a collection of poems.
