#BoinnetInterview .I am very disappointed to have watched that interview….

I have avoided posting this, with the hope that with the passing days, things will normalize. However after watching the Inspector General’s Interview, I will post this.

I am still traumatized by the events of Thursday (28.09.2017). Our Innocent students suffered in the hands of the police force. Students and staff members, who were in studios and lecture rooms. Students who were in their halls of residence. Innocent, committed students who didn't go to the streets. Why pull them from classes and studios? I personally had to hide in the car for hours, at the ADD (Architecture, Design and Development) parking lot with Maggy Mwesh. Chocking on tear gas. Scared not knowing what could happen next; having to scream at the throw of the next teargas canister. This is our department, the same place have spent the last decade. For a moment around 4pm when things had cooled a bit, I managed to daringly drive out only to meet a group of about 20 GSU cops crossing at Mamlaka Road from Mamlaka hostels to the other side of resident halls. They stopped me, surrounded my car and they ordered me to lower my Windows, they demanded to know who I was and where I was going. Upon telling them am a lecturer at the department, one of them in a very demeaning tone told me, "...Naskia students wanastrike sababu mnafunza na mini-skirts."...I had to take in the humiliation. I was angered and scared in equal measure. (I had spent about 2 hours watching how they were ‘containing’ the situation from the parking lot. For a moment, I imagined the worst. I avoided saying or doing anything that I thought could provoke them and after a few minutes of degrading comments from them, one of them came closer to my window and demanded to have my phone number. He argued that I could call him if I found trouble on my exit. He flashed my phone to confirm that it was truly my number, and then they finally let me go. It was a moment of relief to bypass them. It is one of the most helpless moments that I have experienced. Feeling most vulnerable and scared of the same people I pay taxes to (protect the citizens of this country). Later, I watched videos and saw photos of what our students and staff members went through that afternoon. I am most concerned about those who were in the ADD building. They were all there because of their commitment to duty; learning was going on. I read very humiliating experiences by some of our students especially the girls who were sexually assaulted, the students who lost their monies and other assets. It is wrong.

I do not in any way support students harassing and stealing from motorists. However, when a police force comes for innocent students when they are learning, it is WRONG, at all levels. So if the police cannot have a mechanism to identify the rogue demonstrators (whom to a big extend I am convinced are hired goons and not the University of Nairobi’s students) I strongly condemn any sort of force used on innocents students/citizens. Some of them will take years to recover from the trauma. I don’t see why we need to take political sides with this issue. Tomorrow it might be your child, spouse, parent or a friend who will be a victim. This needs to be fully addressed. In fear, I anticipate more nasty experiences, if nothing is done to this rot. I am sorry for all the victims, students, motorists, staff and any other person who suffered from those riots. I will remain optimistic for a better Kenya.

Hehehe!
