Though we pass through many difficulties, we should not give up because Life is not about what
you couldn’t do so far, it’s about what you can still do so NEVER GIVE UP! After all its not all about
the first step but the last step which shows how best we’ve run the race.

Uniforms or No Uniforms in the Work Place?
Back in high school, we wore uniforms for the reasons of signifying a sense of equality. Is this the case in the line of work or is it a matter of decency?
In the recent past, The Law society Of Kenya released a dress code for practicing Advocates of the high court which indicates what to wear and what not to wear.
For this reason, lawyers are challenging the new dress code in court saying it lacked members’ input and imposed hefty fines on those who breach the rules. The penalties includes a fine not exceeding Sh1 million, depending on the decision of the disciplinary committee.
Female lawyers have been the mostly affected by the new dress code which prohibits them donning on miniskirts and bright colours in the line of work. The new dress code and what kind of shoes they should wear to the court.
Wearing of uniforms in the work institutions creates staff identity, promotes professionalism and increases approachability. For example, its lot easier to identify a person wearing uniform in a Safaricom Shop because you know for a fact they work there.
Professionals such as Fire fighters, cabin crew, nurses, the armed forces, call centres, security guards are wear uniforms because it comes as part of the job description.
Here are some anonymous reactions from the social media.
“Why does LSK want to police the dress code? LSK should be at the forefront in consulting its members and the public in this day and age? It’s a big shame and shows we have some officials who are out to derail the focus of the LSK fraternity from legal matters to personal issues. If there are people who have been irresponsible in their way of dressing, address those individuals. Personal etiquette is among issues in grooming young lawyers at the law school and probably the failure is at the school.”
“I totally agree that the new dress code rules are ridiculous, draconian and a breach of one’s human rights. We are not in 1800! The rules are particularly an insult to all women. At the same time these rules were being passed, I saw our very own earring wearing CJ with a bright yellow tie. Nowhere in the rules did they state the colour of ties for the men, but they covered all dress areas for women, safe for the colour of underwear (thank God!). LSK should be making rules to improve the services of the lawyers but not to trample on their rights.”
“There have been cases where female lawyers have been accused of wearing micro-miniskirts in the court room and to cause “confusion”. Our Chief Justice, Willy Mutunga is however exempted from wearing his stud.”

The Jaw breaking salary gaps between the Big Fish and Junior Workers Continues to widen. Imagine pocketing Sh 10,541 not as a months salary but as per hour pay of the time that you are in office.
For instance, a Kenyan CEO that stays in office for 10 hours a day which is not plausible to begin with, stands a chance to pocket a staggering amount of money that a common junior worker might not be able to earn in this lifetime or the other.
The most recent analysis on top management pay conducted by audit firm Price Waterhouse Coopers shows that the average pay for CEO’s in the financial services sector stands at shs Sh 2.53 million per month. Compared to the minimum wage that the government has set at Sh 11,995, this small amount doesn’t add up to the heavy duties that junior workers are involved in in the day to day running of the office.
Among the CEO’s that earn Sh 10,541 are from the top five banks in the country such as Barclays, KCB, Equity, Standard Chartered and Cooperative. Kenya Airways, Safaricom , EABL, Bamburi Cement and BAT CEO also fall on the same category.
In the flying business that saw its CEO ranked as one of the highly paid top cat, Kenya airways has been plagued with an all time retrenchment that saw it workers take the matter to court to challenge the company. Airport staff such as operators, fire fighters, flight controllers and engineers who are employed by Kenya Ports Authority earn an average of Sh 40,000 which is subject to taxation and several deduction.
A top managerial post does however come with its handsome perks, allowances, bonuses and medical cover. For some managers, the company will pay the salaries of their domestic workers an even their school fees.
It’s not only our MP’s therefore who are obsessed with hefty perks as it turns out. The common Kenyan is subjected to heavy taxation, more work and less pay while the top cats pocket all money.

Serious! Student Imprisoned For 2 Yrs Over Exam Cheating
Mwakenya or no Mwakenya? Many people have used this at one point in their education system. In campus; they say that “Degree ni harambee.” Its a communal thing that students should assist each other. These days it has shifted from tiny written papers to use of phones and internet. But, the consequences are bad if you are caught with it as it is an exam irregularity that can lead to a discontinuation.
Examination cheating has crippled the Kenyan education system with increasing cases of exam irregularities in KCSE and KCPE being reported over the recent past. This has seen many candidates and even schools’ examinations results being cancelled by KNEC. However, Kenyans do not learn and the students are still doing it knowing the consequences may spoil your life forever.
With the entry of Mutula Kilonzo as the Min. of Education; a bill with stiffer punishment was passed to regulate the vice in education system among our children. Here is a story of a student sentenced for two years imprisonment for examination cheating.
Source: The Standard
WESTERN, KENYA: It will no longer be business as usual for examination cheats after a court in Homa Bay County sentenced a Form Four candidate to two years in jail.
Fredrick Otieno, an 18-year-old student at Okok Mixed Secondary School, pleaded guilty to possessing Geography paper questions ahead of the exam. The student was imprisoned in Ndhiwa after failing to raise Sh20,000 to pay a fine slapped on him by Senior Resident Magistrate Bernard Omwansa.
This is the first time in history that the courts have taken stern action on examination cheats, opening a new page in the education sector. The conviction comes just weeks after President Kibaki signed into law the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) Bill 2012, which provides for tough penalties for examination cheats. Knec says taking action against exam cheats has long been a challenge because of lack of proper laws.
Under section 27 (1) of the new Act, unauthorised possession of examination paper, material or information attracts imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or a fine no exceeding Sh2 million or both. Otieno was arraigned in court for cheating in Geography Paper I. The court heard that on November 6, he was caught with prepared questions and answers similar to those in the exam paper?that was being administered.
The candidate pleaded guilty and asked the court for leniency. He claimed his Geography teacher had given him the handwritten materials he was caught with. The court immediately granted an application by the prosecutor, Inspector Peter Omare, to arrest and charge the teacher in question.
Section 27 (3) of the Knec Act spells out penalties for anyone who helps any exam candidate to obtain exam papers or materials. Offenders can be jailed for a term not exceeding ten years or a fine not exceeding Sh2 million or both.
Only yesterday, The Standard reported that Knec had raised a red flag over a trend in Garissa County where some candidates are found in possession of pre-prepared notes. Five candidates have been arrested in less than one week. A Garissa high school teacher has also been sent on compulsory leave after failing to answer questions about his involvement in exam cheating.
Another teacher was arrested in Malindi as he collected cash to buy exam materials. Knec Chief Executive Paul Wasanga told The Standard On Saturday that the teacher had collected over Sh128,000 from candidates. Each candidate in the school was asked to pay Sh1,000. Wasanga said enough warnings have been issued to all candidates, parents and teachers over any attempt to collude or engage in exam malpractice.
“We sent enough information to all schools… telling them about the new laws. Everyone will carry their cross now,” he said yesterday. “Over the years, Knec has been cancelling the results of candidates involved in exam irregularities. This time those found guilty will also face the law.”
