HOPE AS MIKE SONKO OFFERS TO HELP BABY SAGINI RESTORE HIS SIGHT BACK

It is a sad dark ending for Baby Sagini, a three-year-old boy whose eyes were gouged out. Unknown to him and wondering why everything has turned black for him, he has to come to terms with the cruel reality of having to remain blind for the rest of his life, after both his eyes were mercilessly gouged out by an assailant.

The boy was playing with other children outside his grandmother's house in Kisii before the grotesquely tragic experience happened to him. He was snatched by an assailant and was found abandoned in a maize plantation at Ikuruma village in Marani Sub-county covered in blood. He was then rushed to hospital, where he is receiving treatment. 

Doctors have however said that he might not see again because his eyes were greatly damaged.

Despite the breaking news of doctors confirming that Baby Sagini might have to live with a disability, all hope is not lost as Mike Sonko has offered to fly the three-year-old boy to China for eye implants.

Mike Sonko, through a post on his social media page, has said that he has done thorough research and identified a hospital in Shenzhen South China called Dennis Lam Eye Hospital which is the best at successfully performing eye implant surgeries.

"However after contacting the hospital we were advised Baby Sagini must have a referral from atleast two Kenyan hospitals. We went ahead and booked an appointment for him to be reviewed at the Westlands laser eye hospital..." read the post on Mike Sonko's Instagram page.

The former Nairobi governor went ahead to explain that the implants will look and move like normal eyes but do not restore vision. They will help him with navigation sensors to allow him get around on his own in familiar places.

The main suspect,  Alex Main Ochogo, who is a cousin to Junior Sagini has been arrested and gaoled at Rioma Police Station. The 28-year-old was presented before Senior Resident Magistrate Christine Ogweno on Monday 19 December 2022 as further investigations are underway.

It is believed that he used the eyes for rituals.

Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya: A Look at the Way Forward (ARTICLE 2)

Image
In recent years, Kenya has been at the forefront of educational innovation with the introduction of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant departure from traditional rote learning methods, instead emphasizing practical skills, critical thinking, and creativity. Let's take a closer look at what the CBC entails and how it's shaping the future of education in Kenya. At its core, the CBC aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. By focusing on competencies rather than mere content mastery, the curriculum empowers learners to think critically, solve problems creatively, and adapt to new challenges with confidence.
