about

This is a ruinous western vibration from colonial power and his language as a weapon. It comes to kill down iya roots language thru an impoveration. What come to be called ‘844 system.’ Many years into books, chopping, many years tarmacking. What was it all about from the intro? - To change the skills in manhood. Did it play what it was supposed? No, it worsen down everything in Kenya. They wanted to change us in many ways… now we die so young than our grandfathers of yesterday. Ask why? This is because of this system: sixteen years in school reading English, resulting to a state whereby one is born speaking English minus his roots! Many only know the motherland when it comes to funeral, when it occurs in the family. A process you find right reveal from wrong.
