Glitz, colour and glamour accompanied this year’s District inter-primary schools music festivals held at Kibabii Girls’ Boarding Primary Schools. This Fete covered schools in Bumula, Kimilili and Bungoma West District and allows entries into an array of categories ranging from songs, dances, poems and public speaking-a major opportunity for the young ones to showcase their talents.  Exhilarating performance from the children did not disappoint in not only entertaining but it was also an important platform for informing and educating. “This festival helps the children to discover their talents in playing instruments, singing, reciting, public speaking and dancing at an early age,” said the festival committee secretary, Mr.Endusa. He added that through early talent discovery the teachers together with the parents can help nurture them to better people tomorrow. Corruption themes dominated most of the pieces, an unfortunate pointer on how this rot is chocking the fundamentals of a good society. However, the good show was marred by complains of non-compliance from the committee secretariat. The cash strapped secretariats warned of imminent failure of successive festivals if members do don’t remit their funds on time. A secondary school festival of similar type ran co-current at Reliance High School in Webuye with reports of massive turnouts.
