In a brief stopover at Menyenya Primary on Friday, Raila Odinga tasked students to briefly furnish him with details of professions that they preferred most.
And to utter shock of teachers and perhaps and indication of a dying profession, many students openly dismissed teaching profession, which has been celebrated for years.
"To succeed in life, you must respect your parents, teachers and work hard in class,'" said the former Prime Minister.
"how many of you would like to be teachers?" paused Raila as the enthusiastic students went mum, an indication that none was interested.
But when Raila asked about other professions such as lawyers, doctosr and dentists, many students responded in affirmation.
The teaching profession has endured challenges for years with members often calling for industrial actions when demanding pay-hike.
