Moi University students have
complained to the school over lack of
mattresses at the university.
Angry students disrupted lectures
and rallied at the University grounds
to express their frustrations on the
issue. Students claimed that the
catering and accommodation
department has been slow to act on
the problem. The University’s rules
does not allow sharing of beds.
Speaking to Campus Vibe, the
Student’s Union secretary general
Nathaniel Akadima blamed the
situation on “unscrupulous dealers”.
“We have had a series of meetings to
confirm the issue. It is not a face
value issue, and the university has
failed to procure mattresses. How do
you buy mattresses from Kisumu yet
we have Raiply in Eldoret Akadima
posed.
Later, while addressing the students,
Deputy VC Prof Nathan Ogech said:
“The mattresses shall be available as
confirmed, and I promise to take the
blame if the assurance is not met.
The students should maintain calm
and check on the next course of
action if their grievances are not
solved as promised.”
