Thank God am not prepared to lose my job soon since it will take a liitle long before they graduate

life is an endless adventure

Kenyan students are really myopic,they waste their time in campus like univerisity is a destination. they enjoy being sent home for times on end while their counterparts in private univerisities move on. they clear campus late (not mentioning the 1 plus year they waited before going to university) then join the world and find that what they were agitating for was plain stupidity and of zero value. In my experience at Egerton loosing about 26 months of time in campus,none of the issues people complained about affected me individually nor were changed because of those agitations- but i joined the job market 2 years later now am playing catch-up. The only useful thing the student union did is petition in court the univerisity using collected signatures on some academic issue and it won.

My point,the VC is working,earning,the lecturers are working,earning,the non teaching staff are earning with or without the students being in class. but the stupid students are the only ones who are paying and staying at home,getting injured and guess what they will pay for their stupidity;if they think the 1k was too much let them wait for the bill on this one - they may think its a toll free number they are being given to call ; they will pay time-wise since dunia inaendelea na bado uniform (or is it dress-code) watavaa. Guess what mitihani watafanya!!!!
we can guess who the only losers in this story are.

The apparent police brutality n comical demeanor of the commish really really really irked me at first...and then i saw the blazing biuldings...especially the theatre and the one Nyayo hostel...n somehow,my ire with the cops subsided!!....i'm sorry...it jus did.

The race is not always to the swift..nor the battle always to the strong..nor food always to the wise..nor riches always to the intelligent..favor is not always to the skilled..or learned..but time and chance happens to all. Ecl9:5..

Whatever the reason would be,nothing warrants the kind of destruction witnessed at KU..............Isn't it time we re-visited the issue of mandatory NYS training for prospective university students as was the case prior to the 8-4-4 system....??.....This system helped instil discipline,self believe and a couple life lessons to students then........


Guka wa bijuti...

Now I understand why this forum was called the ultimate tribal elite gathering.

I fail to see how a snickering commish and an obviously incompetent VC are supposed to identify those that caused the chaos from those who were in their dorms actually studying for their exams the next day.

Let me look at your arguments

1. They should wear decent dress - why stop there. Let us have them all saved while at it and wear chastity belts

2. They should join the NYS - If your child needs to go to the NYS for discipline then that is your problem not mine. It is the parents duty to discipline their children. I never saw NYS ever. There is no NYS in MIT.They are still sharper than you and more disciplined. Has to do with parents.

3. They deserved it - This is an argument obviously propagated by those who have never seen the police in action during campus riots. I would not be surprised if they have arrested a cook and a lecturer in all this. I know for a fact that those who did the burning are not there. Even from video evidence,most of those arrested had no shoes. Can you imagine that. An arsonist without shoes. I would love to be the lawyer in that case.

4. 8-4-4 system - An argument that is as shallow as the messenger. Dismissed with the contempt it deserves.

As you can see all these are shallow arguments at best.

The problem I insist is the KU admin. If you do not communicate and instead enjoy your own students being beaten up by the police,then you are the problem. Note that even the lecturers union is not supporting her.

Those that burned the schools should be arrested and tried. I wonder who here believes the police are capable of investigating anything other than the next bribe they will get.

That woman needs an attitude adjustment or KU will burn again. If she can lie on camera that no student was hurt,I wonder what else she is lying about. Njunge you have to admit that the woman is a liar. We were treated to two liars yesterday. The commish and this woman.

As for those who love it when the police shoot people. I keep on saying,you should be very wary of what you wish upon others.

POINTBLANK.
Kumbe versity students dont change with time. The generation old tactics used by the likes of us are still at play. I thot this is IT & DOT COM era. They infact destroyed the very IT gadgets synonymous with their time. Please learn from the experienced,not from experience.

Dude,seems u r the see no evil hear no evil kind who beleives is always rait. I must tell u to ua face that u r so condescending u dnt make any sense anymore. Btw opinions r like ar......numerous shapes n sizes but ar..... nontheless!

Truest proverb: Mwenda pole hajikwai

njunge read about not electing luo leaders on this very post et al.

This is a disease in Kenya that is now spreading everywhere. No one wants to listen to another one.

This woman ( i just can't call her a VC),lied in public. The police lied in public. The students went stupid. This is the Kenya we are in.

If people cannot sit down and communicate their issues,I shudder and wonder what else is coming. The students,the admin and the police all failed in this scenario. Supporting any of them is actually shallow politicking.

The VC is supposed to be the symbol of proper thinking but I fail to see what good thing she has done. If you know of one positive thing she has done,please do share. The student leaders are just as pathetic. Let me not talk about the police. I would not be surprised if one of their tear gas canisters caused the fire. (That has happened before you know).

Communication must be there and it is obvious that that woman just doesn't know the meaning of the word. Lying is her forte and she has the commish to back her up.

I am still waiting for the person who will explain to me exactly what decent dressing is all about. If you ask me,I want all of you to wear buibuis. This is a college not your home business. Let them dress as they like or you might as well all join the mungiki.

as for simonkabz grow up and be more original. I have heard that too many times on this board.

@ nanfor the more you rant and rave the more you betray your lack of maturity. Nothing justifies violence. Period. If you can't understand that then i'm sorry for you

whenever ku elect a pro admin person,no strikes bt this tym we r headed 4doom.both kusa &admin r antagonists.the day students wil view admin differently,and admim listens,no mo strikes.unfortunately admin r too hard on student leaders.i guess kusa wantd 2prove a pt.it was an absolute lapse oo admin side. 4th yrs hav been hit hard only 2wks to clear.maybe reportin shud b based on yrs.cz i doubt if 1st &4th yr wud hav initiated such an act.


if u resign in realizing ur dream u cease to live.
