Hon. Stephen Wafula Wamalwa's Inspiring Speech at the Mitua Girls High School AGM
In the heart of Bungoma County, nestled within the serene surroundings of Mitua Ward, lies Mitua Girls High School. On a day filled with hope and aspiration, Hon. Stephen Wafula Wamalwa, the Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Soysambu/Mitua Ward and the Deputy Speaker of the County Assembly of Bungoma, delivered an inspiring speech during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the school. His words resonated with both parents and educators, echoing the importance of parental support in education and advocating for alternative methods of fee payment.

Mitua Girls High School, under the capable leadership of Madam Angeine as the principal, has been making significant strides in the field of education. The highlight of the 2022 academic year was the outstanding performance of its students, where an impressive 90% of the 238 students gained entry to universities. This accomplishment served as the backdrop for Hon. Wafula Wamalwa's impactful address.
The MCA began his speech by acknowledging the collective efforts of the school's administration, teachers, and, most importantly, the parents. He emphasized that the success of the students could not have been possible without the unwavering support and commitment of the parents. In a county where financial constraints often hinder access to quality education, the parents of Mitua Girls High School had proven that, with determination, their children could achieve academic excellence.

One of the key highlights of Hon. Wafula Wamalwa's speech was his call for parents to continue supporting their children's education by paying school fees promptly. He recognized the financial challenges faced by many families but stressed that investing in education was an investment in the future. He urged parents to prioritize their children's education and, when possible, to make timely payments to ensure that the school could operate efficiently and provide the best possible learning environment.

Furthermore, the MCA addressed the issue of alternative modes of fee payment. He recognized that the traditional cash-based system could be challenging for some parents, especially in the face of economic hardships. Hon. Wafula Wamalwa proposed that schools should explore flexible payment options, such as mobile money transfers or electronic payment platforms, to make it easier for parents to fulfill their financial obligations to the school. This suggestion was met with applause from both parents and educators, who saw it as a practical solution to alleviate the burden on parents.
Hon. Wafula Wamalwa's speech also celebrated the incredible academic achievements of Mitua Girls High School in the year 2022. The remarkable feat of 90% of students gaining entry to universities was a testament to the school's commitment to academic excellence. The MCA commended the students for their hard work and dedication, the teachers for their relentless efforts, and the school's leadership for fostering a conducive learning environment.

 Hon. Stephen Wafula Wamalwa's speech at the Mitua Girls High School AGM was a powerful reminder of the pivotal role that parents play in the education of their children. His call for parental support, coupled with the proposal for alternative fee payment methods, demonstrated his commitment to improving education in the Soysambu/Mitua Ward and Bungoma County as a whole.
The success story of Mitua Girls High School in 2022 serves as an inspiration not only to the students and parents of the school but also to the entire community. It showcases what can be achieved through collaboration, dedication, and forward-thinking leadership. As Hon. Wafula Wamalwa continues to advocate for positive change in education, the future of Bungoma County's students looks brighter than ever.

Raila Odinga’s Visit to Kizza Besigye: A Hypocrisy Cloaked as Pan-Africanism

Image
Raila Odinga’s recent visit to Uganda’s opposition leader, Dr. Kizza Besigye, has stirred a wave of mixed reactions across East Africa. While some paint this gesture as an act of solidarity and Pan-African brotherhood, the reality beneath the surface reveals a troubling contradiction. Raila’s silence during moments of injustice in his own country—most notably his silence when Kenyans were abducted and silenced—undermines any claims of genuine Pan-Africanism. Instead, this visit appears as nothing more than a calculated political maneuver designed to salvage personal ambition and rebuild public sympathy after a failed bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship. At the heart of the matter is a blatant display of hypocrisy. When innocent Kenyans were abducted, when voices were muzzled, and when democracy seemed to teeter on the brink of collapse, Raila Odinga—once a symbol of resistance and reform—stood silent. His voice, which once roared against injustices in ...

The Hypocrisy of Power: Why Uganda Must Reject Museveni’s Repression and Free Dr. Kizza Besigye

Image
Uganda’s history is marred by cycles of political repression, resistance, and the hope of a better future. For many Ugandans, the struggle against dictatorship is not new; it is a battle they have fought before, most notably during the brutal reign of Idi Amin. The rise of President Yoweri Museveni was anchored on the promise of never again allowing Uganda to slide back into tyranny. However, in his sunset years, Museveni has taken a tragic turn—adopting the same dictatorial tendencies that once justified his armed struggle against Amin’s rule. One of the most glaring examples of this repression is the continuous mistreatment of Dr. Kizza Besigye, a longtime opposition leader and former ally of Museveni. Besigye has been harassed, arrested, detained, and assaulted numerous times simply for exercising his democratic right to oppose the government. His current detention is yet another chapter in Uganda’s long story of political intolerance. Ugandans must say NO to...
