Kisumu Teachers Vow to Teach MP Shakeel Shabir a Political Lesson After He Dresses Down Colleague in Front of Students

TEACHERS across Kisumu East constituency are reportedly plotting to teach their MP Shakeel Shabir a harsh political lesson following his humiliating public dressing down of a colleague at St Peter’s Kindu Secondary School.

The educators, who witnessed their fellow teacher being scolded in front of students and parents, are said to be seething with anger and planning coordinated action that could spell doom for the legislator’s political future.

Word reaching this writer suggests that several teachers’ WhatsApp groups in the constituency have been buzzing with messages of solidarity and calls for revenge against the “arrogant” MP.

The educators are reportedly mobilizing their union representatives and professional networks to mount a sustained campaign against Shabir, viewing his recent apology as “too little, too late” and merely a damage control exercise.

Sources within the teaching fraternity whisper that the plan involves leveraging their influence in the community to turn parents and students against the MP during the next election cycle and a possible recall.

“Teachers are respected voices in society, and when they speak, people listen,” confided one senior educator who requested anonymity.

The group is said to be particularly incensed by the public nature of the humiliation, which they view as an assault on the dignity of their profession.

The grapevine further suggests that some teachers are already reaching out to potential political opponents of Shabir, offering to mobilize grassroots support for anyone willing to challenge him in the next polls.

The MP’s attempt to contain the fallout through his Sunday apology appears to have backfired, with many teachers interpreting it as admission of guilt rather than genuine remorse.

A little bird whispers that the “politically naive” MP has underestimated the collective power of the teaching community, and his handlers are now scrambling to organize peace meetings with education stakeholders.

However, the damage may already be done, as the teachers appear determined to make an example of what they call “political bullying” of their profession.
