By Wandia Njoya The university was already destroyed before covid-19. It was battered by administrative bloat, by demands for “relevance” which pushed teachers away from guiding people to master their disciplines to answer life’s questions. Now with covid-19, neoliberalism is dealing its final blow and telling universities to take everything online. It is a serious […]
REVEALED: Why Ruto will never be president, mistakes he made in 2013 to haunt him forever
States-craft: Is defined as art of winning elections, taking power and maintaining it. This requires a complex web of factors and people.. This is where I see that Ruto messed.
