Education Secretary Ogamba Migos Friday came face to face with the fury of teachers who told him to reconsider the government's decision to ban schools from dramatising content by playwrights who are non-teachers.
Kenya National Union of Teachers(KNUT) National Treasurer Kennedy Nyamwanda and the Kisii Branch Chairman of Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) Chairman Joseph Abincha put Ogamba on the spot over the events that happened Thursday during the ongoing National Drama Festivals where Butere Girls actresses were barred from staging their play "Echoes of War".
Nyamwanda termed the ban on the play as against the Competence Based curriculum (CBC), which the Government was still modeling. "Banning a play being staged by talented kids is anti-CBC, and it is a negative step when we all want to promote talent.
Why should the government ban expression of talent?" Nyamwanda asked.
