KCPE TOP GIRL INVITE's AN EXAGGERATION



Goldalyn came to the lime light after the release of the 2017 KCPE results by the CS Fred Matiang’i. She emerged the best candidate in the country scoring 446 marks out of the possible 500. Since then the girl has earned herself a celebrity status in the country. Some people are finding this to be gone too far as the girl is literary everywhere. Kenyans being known for criticism have not even spared the little girl who has struggled her way to the top while living with albinism. Beating the odds of disability Goldalyn have inspired many especially the people living with albinism, proving to them that it is all possible.
In Kenya, as soon as the KCPE results are announced, the main stream media will always try to catch up with the top students and share their feeling, struggle, pain and joy to the top. This year’s KCPE result announcement broadcast took a different twist with the emergence of a top candidate being an albino. Almost all the media houses had their focus on this young lady with albinism who had emerged top in the country forgetting the second, third ..Et al. Live interviews during the prime hours were being carried out from her home in Kakamega and every media house wanted a pie of the little girl.
After the announcement, Goldalyn became a guest of different institutions, events and even the state. First was the ASK – Albinism Society of Kenya, yea this was expected, they had to celebrate one of their own. State House invited the girl to the house on the hill and later to Kenyatta’s inauguration ceremony. The recent event that Goldalyn was in attendance is the Masinde Muliro University graduation on 15th December 2017. Her attendance and being given an opportunity to address the congregation has raised discussion among the KOT. Others feel that this has gone much too far and it might distract the little girl, while other feel that it’s a form of appreciating and encouraging the girl. Go go go Goldalyn the sky is just a stepping stone.

SHE GRABBED MY HAND AND LIFTED ME UP WHEN I REALLY NEEDED IT

 The Melodies of Rock of ages was flooding my thoughts that morning. This is a well scented song that mum loved to sing before she went to bed. It sounds so good and original in my Kikuyu dialect (Ihiga ria tene ma, ninguihitha hariwe)- Rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee. I was a Form IV student and we were getting ready for Mock Exams. I could rarely concentrate on books this fateful morning because the melodies in my mind were far much fun that the Chemical puzzles on my chemistry book. Anyway, Mondays are always lazy days to many people. I like being among these people. It such an irony that today Mondays are mostly my off days. Anyway, to make the short story long, this Monday was unlike others. I was invaded my this sorrowful and eschatological song that made me miss my mum so much. Secondly, it was my turn to select a biblical verse and read it at the school assembly that morning. I am a Gospel fanatic. And I love the Gospel of John. But this morning instin...

SLAVERY

REAGARNSTUS K. MULI DIDR-01-0083-2017                                                                 SLAVERY IN AFRICA    (LIBYA) Slavery in Libya has a long history and a lasting impact on the Libyan culture. It is closely connected with the wider context of slavery in North Africa and Arab slave trade. Therefore, the current activities in Libya may be considered not a new thing. Many of the victims in Libya are people or migrants moving to Europe for greener pastures preferably using Libya as a route.
