Recently shocking aspects of campus life is coming to the light of public scrutiny. CS Matiangi’s visit to Egerton University showed the deplorable living conditions of the students.Dorms are congested, full of vermin and are falling apart due to lack of maintenance. A news feature showed students becoming Mama fuas -washing clothes for fellow students - to eat,and others eating out of garbage cans. Some students said that they eat once in 3 days as this is what they can afford.
Other issues have come out such as lecturers hiding marks,so as to use the missing marks to extort money and sexual favors from poor students. In some cases lecturers don’t attend classes and come to teach what will be in exams a few weeks before the semester ends.
It was Moi University where outsiders approached admin that their students are regular visitors to the garbage dumpsites scavenging for food. A student said he eats once in 3 days. HELB doesnt help with food expenses?And I thot KStreet was for luxury, kumbe guys are in garbage dumps looking for food?:-o
