Dear readers,
I am Nyayo, a close friend of Mwalimu Andrew I also add up as his uncle and village matters adviser. I have known Mwalimu for years since he is my age mate, location mate, village mate, age mate and former school mate. However I was surprised to find that he always writes negatively about me! I came to know this when I sent Sandra (my daughter) to buy Omena. The paper that wrapped Omena had one of his “cooked” stories that I hear are beated in the Nation always Sundasy. He has potrayed Mwisho Wa Lami village and its people negatively in those articles. For the few who been privileged to go to Mwisho Wa Lami, they will tell you that this is a village that is blessed! It has a secondary school, a primary school (Where Mwalimu Andrew teaches and goes ahead to abuseit) and many its people are comfortable with life as no is complaining about it. I am a law abiding citizen whose ambition in life is to ensure all people in Mwisho Wa Lami are burried well! I have a lot of skills on management of village issues and life in general. This can be portrayed by the fact that I was chosen to be the chairman of class 7 in Mwisho Wa Lami Primary before i run away when a teacher called Rashid wanted to bath me in front of teh students. I am a hardworking citizen who plays a crucial role in the development of Kenyan economy. I am rated the best when it comes to ,easuring and supervising the digging or grave sin Mwisho wa lami. I am teh Chairman of teh grave digging Commitee here and i also supervise the burials. Mwalimu Andrew has not been coming for grave diggong and is never there during burials. Lets wait and see what wil happen when he dies or someone in his family kicks teh blanket. They will arrange themselves i tell you.
Mwalimu Andrew has portrayed me as a person who cannot be trusted by anyone and a very dishonest person. I remember once when he said that I had stolen his Kaunda suit during the 2010 world cup march that Manchester United worn. This was a total lie! How can I still a green Kaunda suit like that one? Me i can only still overall of blue colour. When will I wear a green kaunda suit? I think Mwalimu is trying to be jealousy of me because I own as more than he owns despite of him going to college and being a teacher.
Mwalimu Andrew is just but a lazy village teacher whose ambition is to outshine everyone when it comes to talking English. Every time I tell him that we can’t eat the English that he so much values. I encourage him always to work hard and always tell him to encourage the sons and daughters of Mwisho Wa Lami to work hard in and to help their parents. This can be justified with the fact that I together with Rashid and the area Councilor collaborated to abolish early morning and late evening classes; the time our sons and daughter should be helping at home.
Mwalimu doesn’t remember where he has come from that is why he moves around the village stepping on everyone’s feet including his father, a clear sign that he does not respect the elders.
I sometimes wonder what future holds for Mwalimu, I was his classmate several years ago. I am now married with five children! What does Mwalimu have to show for the life he has lived?
Despite all these, there are some things that we love Mwalimu for, one is his generosity. Mwalimu is very generous when it comes to buying pickups at Hitler’s. I must confess that I was saddened the other day when he had a huge debt of Kshs. 175 at Hitler’s! This prompted him to start going to church and many are the times I went without Hitler’s famous stuff. I must confess also that I am happy that he is back to his normal routine since he has now paid debt and we will be meeting at our “church” – Hitler’s.

RIGHT OF REPLY - WESONGA TAKES GREAT EXCEPTION OF MWALIMU'S CLAIMS
I am an innocent student writing this in reply to Mwalimu Andrew with regard to the claims he has repeatedly made against me in the Sunday Nation. Most of the allegations are outrageos, to say the least. In fact if I had money, this is a matter over which I would have filed a legal suit. If he were not my friend, his claims would have amounted to hate speech.
I have been imagining that Mwalimu Andrew is capable of displaying some acceptable level of decency. I have given him that benefit of the doubt even though I know it is never beyond him to execute a smear campaign against me to devastating effect. He has now gone to a degree of claiming that I don’t buy toilet paper. Worse, he described an impossible means by which I get past that obstacle.
One might betempted to think that he did this deliberately. He did so because he simply does not have resources within his personality to deal with his weaknesses. What Mwalimu does not know is that making other people look bad only enhances his own weaknesses.
I almost believed that Mwalimu Andrew has finally decided to do something useful with his life when he decided to advance his education in KU. Unfortunately, if there is anything KU has done to Mwalimu, is to give him a big head. He now mistakenly thinks he has the intellectual resources to manipulate facts to the disadvantage of other people. Were you to tell Mwalimu to list all the good things he knows about himself, he will not reach double digits. Yet he now sees fit to embarrass me.
With abundant reluctance, I would like to state that I now know the reason why Mwalimu Andrew’s life has become synonymous with trouble. As soon as he starts doing something sensible, he suddenly becomes himself: conservative, naïve and sadly, a man of cheap retrogressive ideas who can’t fully comprehend a matterof any complexity.
I would like to acknowledge the truth in some of the things Mwalimu wrote. It is indeed true that we were both broke when we arrived at KU for the current session. What he did not say is that he never has money. As he has repeatedly said himself, we do not know how rich he is but we are sure of how poor he is. This explains why for three consecutive sessions in KU, he has successfully encouraged me to pirate in other people’s rooms like him.
Living with Mwalimu is a complicated affair. Things are better here right now because the state of his pocket has condemned him to bananas. Last session it was difficult because he could afford sukuma wiki on a regular basis. He was free to convert himself into a rabbit if he wanted. The problem was he kept sukuma wiki for so long, almost with the intention of turning it into manure before cooking.
I also find it necessary to comment on Mwalimu’s dressing. I would consider him a man of talent if he dressed in his green suits with a singular objective of amusing people. On the contrary, he dresses that way with the intention of looking good. The ladies he says he impresses in fact only follow him because of his peculiar attire. They find it quite adventurous to be in the company of a man who unknowingly cuts such a comical figure. These ladies have eventually turned him into an absurdity. He is now under the imagination that he is a ladies’-man. Indeed, his relations with the female species has only led him to a lot of trouble – most of which I do not want to reveal here.
I would like to end by issuing a disclaimer. I have made the comments above in absolute good faith. Any negative portrayal of Mwalimu is therefore regretted and beyond my original intention. He is a good friend of mine. That is not to say that he can improve on a few aspects of his life. Starting with his dressing!

RIGHT OF REPLY - My Sister Caro's Side of the story
Dear Readers,
My name is Caro, Mwalimu Andrew’s younger sister. The
purpose of writing this piece is to set the record straight. My brother Mwalimu
Andrew has a personal column in the Sunday
Nation newspaper titled Staffroom
Diary. In it he has negatively mentioned my name thrice. The first time was
when Andrew, or more commonly Dre, publicly warned me to stay away from Cate,
his former girlfriend (August 14, 2011). The other two times was when he accused
me of telling the whole village, Mwisho wa Lami, that he had won and
lost a vehicle
in a Safaricom competition (September 16, and 23, 2011). These lies have made
me the subject of ridicule at the village. My parents also think that I am the
cause of sibling rivalry between Dre and I. Even his student, Anastacia has
started the ‘Save Dre from Caro’ campaign on Facebook, on account of these
allegations. However, I will prove that
all of these allegations are false, just like Dre’s friend Wesonga did. Dre had
wrongly accused Wesonga of making his life difficult at Kenyatta University
(KU).
Cate and I had been friends even
before Dre came along. We still are. For him to publicly warn me from being her
friend due to their fall out, will not work. He has often stated that
he broke-up
with Cate because she accused him of impregnating her. The truth is that Cate
found someone better than Dre. Also, he is too scared to get anyone pregnant
because he fears responsibility. His salary is too small and he is too selfish.
Besides, dad would not allow Dre to bring in his family to our home.
As for stating that I told everyone that he
had won and lost the Safaricom vehicle, at the time I had better things to do.
This was in September when the Joint Admissions Board chose me to join
KU this year.
While Andrew went around telling everyone about his Safaricom ‘success’, I was
out in the market selling vegetables to raise pocket money to go with to KU.
The capital to my business venture had been provided by my other brother, Pius.
My parents had only managed to raise the fees. Dre was too cash strapped to
even spare a shilling. His promise had been that when he picked up his
Safaricom car, he would transport me to KU. Besides saving my parents’ fare,
the pickup would have enough room for all the food I would carry. Dre has often
told me about the ‘drought’ in university
I am sure that even, you, the reader, would not
have realized this had I not told you. You only see the characters from Dre’s
life through his eyes. Despite his lies, I still look up to him. Even when he
continually makes these false allegations against me. Like the time
when he accused
me of telling everyone that he had won an educational scholarship to the
University of Netherlands. That is, however, a story for another day. Dre has
his shortcomings but he is still my brother. He is a good teacher as he has
made Kiswahili and CRE understandable subjects at Mwisho wa Lami Primary. I
speak here as his former student, although he ensured that he harassed me every
opportunity he got. Which goes to show that he would rather keep his job, than
be called nepotistic.
To all the concerned villagers at
Mwisho wa Lami and to my parents, that is my truth and I am sticking to it.
Dre, I know that you are the torchbearer of ‘Whispers’. Thus, you create
stories, but unlike him, you sometimes do not base them on facts. Rectify this.
While you are it, talk to Pius on backing you up to start the
Staffroom Diary FM radio station. As for Anastacia, your loyalty to my
brother is
admirable. In fact, you and I should get together so that I can tell
you about The Netherlands story
