What Sonko broke was not the law but some silly archaic and backward town law.........Archaic and a very cheap stupid way for modern day towns to make money.You park and walk into some building.The council employee is hiding at the corner and as soon as you are out of sight,the idiot appears with his/her tools.10 minutes later,you come out of the building and ahem!....Clamped and not one idiot around.So you have to walk to the town/city hall which is 5 kilometers away,queue for an hour and pay 10 times the parking fee....What were supposed you to do immediately you parked??....aha!!...Walk around looking for a town council employee to pay for your ticket!!...BK!....Nakuru and Eldoret town are very notorious but i have learnt how to beat them.In Nakuru,i'll buy oranges from the lady across the pavement and leave her some money just incase those idiots appear.I'll come back and if my money is intact,i take more oranges.

In a 1953 landmark publication, UNESCO underscored the importance of educating children in their mother-tongue (UNESCO, 1953). Language and communication are without doubt two of the most important factors in the learning process.

The Global Monitoring Report on Education for All in 2005 (UNESCO, 2004) underlined the fact that worldwide the choice of the language of instruction and language policy in schools is critical for effective learning. In a landmark study on quality of education in Africa, carried out by the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA, 2004), the language factor emerged strongly as one of the most important determinants of quality. Yet, more than 50 years since the first UNESCO statement, and despite a plethora of books, articles, numerous conventions, declarations and recommendations addressing this issue, including a range of conclusive experiments of using local languages in education and polity, most African countries continue to use the former colonial language as the primary language of instruction and governance, a sign that they are yet to move up the ladder from being primitive to homosapiens.

NB - this is a peel and paint job, so don't start the accusations.

New research findings are increasingly pointing to the negative consequences of these policies: low-quality education and the marginalisation of the continent, resulting in the »creeping amnesia of collective memory« (Prah, 2003). Achievements and lessons learned from both small steps and large-scale studies carried out across the continent and elsewhere have yielded ample evidence to question current practices and suggest the need to adopt new approaches in language use in education. Africa’s marginalisation is reinforced by its almost complete exclusion from knowledge creation and production worldwide. It consumes, sometimes uncritically, information and knowledge produced elsewhere through languages unknown to the majority of its population. The weakness of the African publishing sector is just one example. Ninety-five per cent of all books published in Africa are textbooks and not fiction and poetry fostering the imagination and creative potentials of readers. Africa has the smallest share in scholarly publishing, which is mirrored by the international Social Science Citation Index which, despite its cultural bias, covers the world’s leading scholarly science and technical journals in more than 100 academic disciplines. Only one per cent of the citations in the Index are from Africa. The publicly-accessible knowledge production of African scholars takes place outside Africa. The UNESCO Science Report of 2005 indicated that Africa is contributing only to 0.4 per cent of the international gross expenditure on research and development, and of this, South Africa covers 90 per cent. Na unalinga na English hiyo unatetea. We just consume another culture's language and knowledge like monkeys while we discard what our forefathers had painstakingly put together for our advancement. Italics mine.

I have my own clamping device, just like the ones owned by the city council. Everytime I go to town, Icheck right, left and centre, if the coast is clear, I clamp the car myself. When they come around, they usually say, " Haka kalifikili hakatapatina". So they never clamp my car. When I return, I ensure non of the Kanjos is around, unlock the device, put it in the boot and voila. Kanjo can never be smarter than me.

Always make sure your device looks beaten up like the one for Kanjos otherwise, if they suspect you have outmonouvered them, they clamp the other wheel. In that case, you come with the AA towing truck, lift the car into the truck and take it to a welding expert.
