Moi Universtity Students out of control

Could the Vice Chancellor’s speech calm the angry crowd of mourning students? many students awaited professor Mibey outside the administration block to address them about insecurity issues facing the entire students fraternity in Moi University today.

It was really a triumphant entry of upset students to the administration building demonstrating after an ironic death of a third year female student. Charity Muthoni Maina was in the School of Arts specializing in English and Literature. She met with the mysterious death on Sunday during night time at stage where she lived. This triggered the comrades into a tremendous demonstration that led to a police jeep being burnt to ashes.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor tried to address the students but he only managed to reach a small part of the crowd. He said that security and accommodation affairs of the students will be taken as the core business before the month ends. Some of the measures he mentioned included; moving all female students from stage to the hostels inside the university, employing more security guards to patrol around the hostels during night time, ensuring that there are street lights in all the hostels and ensuring completion of the unfinished hostels i.e. I, M and N.

Later, the students demanded to be addressed by the Vice Chancellor. It took a couple of minutes before he could appear. The students pushed around the senate building entrance till he could start his speech. He couldn’t address the students conveniently as the atmosphere was not calm for his speech.  Apparently, he could be heard trying to calm the students. He more or less repeated the same measures his deputy had mentioned.

The unsatisfied students moved towards the stage disagreeing with the proposed reccommendations by the VC. The big question that remained unanswered is that, could there be a tragedy in the university so that the concerned stakeholders to act?

A Doom Sunday.

Why terminate a young dream??...

It dawned like any other day. An abrupt change of atmosphere occurred at around 10.00 A.M. when the whole University was grieved by sad news of a death of a third year female student which occurred at Stage (rental houses outside the campus) where she lived.
Charity Muthoni Maina was in the School of Arts specializing in English and Literature. It is speculated that she met with the sudden death at around 11 p.m. as she was coming from an evangelistic team fellowship. The death seemed to be mysterious as it appeared to be a suicidal murder.
From the interview that we contacted to the people who saw the body said that she was thrown in a nearby bush after the murder. One of her close friends we managed to interview and saw the body revealed that it looked like she was raped before she was murdered. Her body had some scratches as if she really struggled with her vision terminators.
Charity used to serve as an usher in Moi University Christian Union. For those who knew her at a personal level could not avoid tears falling as she was very friendly. Some of her friends said that they won’t mourn beyond what is necessary especially those believe in the Christian foundation as she was saved.
On behalf of the whole community, we are really sorry and sincerely sent our condolence to the bereaved family and friends. May her soul rest in eternal peace.AMEN.

An Amazing Woman!

How amazing she is…?!

Mum! Mum! … How interesting when one is calling her mum?! Always loving mums respond positively when called. Kudos mum for your concern towards your sons and daughters. What an exceptional love do you portray to me to the extent of defending me even when you are absolutely sure that am in the wrong?! I adore your convincing gift especially when dad declines my offers. Nothing has been a hindrance to my pleas to dad via you. I always like the way you intimidate his defensive mechanisms with a lot of integrity when it comes to his hide and seek game in avoiding his noble responsibility as a dad. No life predicament has over-weighed my joy through you MUM. I really love you so much.

Life uncertainties have been the greatest enemy to this fundamental joy. What a doom moment when this crucial name loses its meaning?! Life has to lose its equilibrium especially to baby girl but the impact gets even worse with the baby boy. Days of doom pass when the tongue loses its functionality of tasting, leading to starving moments, paving way to the mourning period.

Six months are now down the line after the departure of Liz (the favorite name I used to call her) to land of no return! Some moments are unbearable, only tears essentially performs the noble task of lessening the intensity of the trauma. Tears have to wash cheeks even for the brave during hard times like this. Sometimes I really miss the usage of this name but no one to call especially for biological identification. But for the matter of temporal satisfaction I usually call Mama mboga mum and all other aged women! R.I.P. Mum. I will always miss you.

Service is a crucial accompaniment of love to anyone. I have been always having a nightmare of serving you mum, but you are nowhere to be found. For the fortunate ones don’t overlook this opportunity of serving your mama. Opportunities are countless but short-lived. Today you can get hold of her, tomorrow your Techno smartphone memory will be filled with condolence notes from your fellow comrades wishing her a peaceful rest! This is the time to render your service to her-if you have one.

For those who don’t have this strong wave of love feeling to their mums, this is the time. Don’t hide it anymore, go and reveal it that you adore her. How many love quotes have you used to your beloved friends but you never mentioned this to the one who brought you on this world? Mere words will never be contenting, buy present for her during this eve.

Note that, opportunities are countless but short-lived.

The pastor

He is well known by the name “Pastor” as many people do not know his real name. Many have never bothered of inquiring his real name due to the satisfaction they get from this name he has been branded. This is due to his well known character of carrying a bible and a stick, a symbol of a good shepherd. But there is more to tell about the Pastor.

His real name is Sammy Kimeto. This is according to his supervisor Mr. Ibrahim Kiprono (the supervisor of general security in Moi University-Main Campus). Kimeto works as security guard in the University, but he is not assigned to a specific area to guard, but just moving around the University.

Pastor has no family, as he is not married neither does anyone knows of his family background. According to the inquiry that was done to some of the security officers at the administration block, no one knows Pastor’s origin. Additionally, he came to Moi University vicinity when he was still young. Initially he resided at stage, where he used to match the moment he saw vehicles. One day he saw V.C’s car passing by and started matching while holding his stick firmly, the thing that impressed Prof. Mibey (the Vice Chancellor of Moi University) and secured a job post for him as a security guard.

Pastor stays at the staff quarters found at Ngeria. He leaves lives with his supervisor Mr. Ibrahim Kiprono who takes care of him as he is not mentally fit. According to the security officer we interviewed, initially Pastor was totally not able to speak. Later, due to his interaction with the varsity residents, he can now speak a little of Kiswahili and English!

No other business he does apart from the assigned security task around the varsity. One of the mysterious things with Pastor is that nobody knows how he spends the money he gets from his pay. Indeed, Pastor is a mysterious being but he has invisible strength.
