The dissolution of the KNEC board was long overdue.

BY Paul Bundi Karau Actually, the whole edifice of KNEC needs serious reworking. There is no other body or person who can leak examinations at the scale we saw. Secondly, KNEC officers and examiners are always galivanting around the country talking to students on examinations tricks. Isn't that unethical? I disagree with Dr
Benjamin Kailikia Kanake that headteachers are the main culprits. Once a single paper is leaked in this era of WhatsApp and Facebook, there's no knowing whence it goes. It's like a fire in the dry wild. Parents will catch the questions and send to their children, while teachers cash in alike, driven by the ever-escalating pressure to perform. Of course what we need other than fixing the hardware (like dissolution of KNEC, sacking of teachers etc) is to reset our national software. It is an issue of greed and breakdown of moral order. We need integrity. No law can put integrity to a decidedly immoral person. I can now confidently say we need God.

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
