Senior government economic advisor Moses Kuria has raised serious concerns about a new political trend that is quickly gaining popularity across the country. He is especially unhappy with the way some politicians are now showing teacher employment forms during public rallies and even funerals.
According to him, this is one of the worst ways a country can be damaged. Kuria shared his thoughts on social media, expressing deep disappointment and frustration. He said that while many things have been used in history to destroy nations, this particular trend stands out as one of the most harmful.
He pointed out that teachers are not just ordinary workers; they are the people who help shape the future of any nation by educating children. Kuria finds it troubling that politicians are now using teaching jobs as tools to win support or applause from the public.
In his view, this practice does not respect the teaching profession. Instead, it reduces teachers to nothing more than objects used to score political points. He believes that this habit damages not only the dignity of teachers but also the entire education system.
Kuria himself credits his success to the great teachers who helped guide him in his early years. Because of this personal connection, the issue affects him deeply. He described it as shameful that leaders who should be focused on building the country are instead using people’s dreams and careers for cheap political gains. Teachers, he said, deserve better.
They deserve to be hired in a private, respectful, and professional manner not in noisy political events or sad occasions like funerals.He is now calling on other leaders to avoid this habit and to start respecting teachers and the role they play in society.
He reminded the public that teachers are the backbone of national development. Without their work in the classroom, no country can succeed. Turning their employment into public drama not only insults them but also sends the wrong message to young people about the value of education and hard work.
In a time when the country is facing many challenges, Kuria believes that leaders should focus on serious solutions rather than public shows. He hopes that his message will make both leaders and citizens think twice about how important it is to treat the teaching profession with the honor it deserves.
If the trend continues, he warns, the damage to the country’s future could be far worse than people expect.
