MAASAI LAIBON Predicted the birth of the late OLE NTIMAMA

William Ole Ntimama's birth was fore told by a Laibon to his Father the Late Koillapa Ntimama many years before he was born in 1927. The Laibon prophesied that two of his wives will give birth to sons on the same day.

William Ole Ntimama was born to Senkeinta Ntimama and he rose to be a great man. His facial complexion wasn't uniform; his right side was darker when the left was lighter. When he got annoyed, it is said a clear distinction would be seen on his face.

He led the Maa Community with might and was MP for 25 years, Cabinet Minister serving under two presidents & prime minister and a great family man.

We the Maasai believe that during an eclipse, a great man dies. It came to pass that this time it was Ntimama. We've mourned him for more than two weeks, and officially three days.

Yesterday 14th Sept 2016, we put him to rest in a decorated state function. Speaking, one of the elders said it will rain heavily after the event and as his body is lowered into the earth, and It Raining heavily in Narok. A true sign that Ntimama has been received well in heaven.

Fare thee well Kakuyiaa Bill Ole Ntimama.

MAASAI MARA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PROTEST AS LECTURERS DOWN TOOLS OVER UPAID SALARIES

Maasai Mara University students in Narok County took to the streets on Thursday to protest the continued absence of lecturers from classrooms over a salary dispute.

Lecturers have boycotted parallel classes for the last three weeks citing a salary payment dispute with the institution’s management.

The tutors say they have not been paid from as long as 2013 and some are owed up to Sh2 million in arrears by the institution.

They have threatened to withhold examination results until the university settles their arrears.

Some of the striking lecturers who spoke to the Nation, said part-time tutors in at the university have not been paid for a long time, even after being asked to teach without pay for the last three years.

“How do you meet your financial obligations if you are working and you can’t be paid at the end of the month? We are tired and that is why we have downed our tools,” said the Secretary General of the Part Time Lecturers Association Mr Meshack Lagat.

Part-time lecturers have no union to present their grievances, making it difficult for them to push their case in a coordinated way.

Mr Joshua Karia said he started work in August 2013, under a deal that showed he would be paid Sh1,500 per hour for undergraduate classes.

He is now demanding over Sh2 million from the university in in unpaid salaries. “This cry of distress, expressed by a part-time lecturers in Narok, is not isolated. It represents the feelings of many other lecturers in different public universities in Kenya, we are being taken for a ride,” said Mr Karia.

Town campus students under the privately sponsored students’ programme who are among those affected by the strike staged a peaceful protest march to the Main campus situated at Total estate- three kilometers from Narok town.

They sought audience with the university’s vice chancellor Professor Mary Walingo who later addressed them at the university’s main campus, promising to address all their issues.

The students’ leaders Mr Justus Dikirr, Mr Moses Nkamasiai, and Mr Clement Nkaanti faulted the University for failing to pay the lecturers, arguing that it has collected more than Sh200 million in school fees.

"We are wondering why they are not being paid yet we have paid fees," said Mr Dikirr who led the demonstrations.

"The country and our parents must know we are being 'wasted' yet fees has been paid. Corruption is running the university; money meant to pay lecturers is stolen by senior officials." said Mr Dikirr.
