                       THE BAPTISM OF COMRADES
Life in Moi University is full of ups and downs, though actually the downs are more...well, comrades had to make this decision.

                                    HAS JUSTICE BEEN DONE?
Her life on earth must come to an end tomorrow Saturday, the 28th February 2015. Some will call it fate, others destiny but, who really knew that one comrade would leave on this day. I imagine the great pain of her family members, her friends and all the students of Moi University. I imagine the tears of sadness that will strike our hearts as they lower her body down to earth and say rest in peace dear Charity Muthoni Maina.
As we follow all these events, the main question in my mind is; where is justice? Whoever was involved in this has not been revealed yet or any significant efforts made to identify him, her or them. Even when the police themselves came and took her away with a seeming great desire to find the culprit or culprits.
I do not want to blame anybody concerning this issue but, i strongly believe that in the interest of respect for life, it is very prudent to identify whoever was involved. I do not want to mention the fact that the same risk might still be there because no body has been called to accountability.
Does it mean that there are no consequences to acts of rape and murder? That, anybody can be raped and killed and life continues. This is not the kind of life we want! It not only degrades life but also the University.
Let us consider the facts right, life is precious. no body has a right to take the life of anyone even in Campus.
This leads us to yet other important questions; who should be responsible for the security of students in Moi University? What has he or she done concerning the death of Charity?
I only hope that her death will be investigated. She deserves justice. But, if she will not find it on earth, then i beg her dear soul to rest and leave it for God.
To her family, i send my deepest condolences.
Worry not for God knows.
Have faith.
May the Lord bless us all.
AMEN

                                         THE EPICENTER OF TRUTH
The world is corrupted by satanism; Moi University is not an exceptional. It seems that satan has pitched camp here. He wants to devour us all. What else explains the recent occurrences in this place?


It is inarguable, that fact that Charity Muthoni Maina died. She was raped before killed, I am not sure. Whoever was involved is not doubt an agent of satan.
That this same satan made a student kill himself at falls. That, he wants students to riot daily by tampering with the electricity of this place. That, we will not enjoy peace at stage, because he has tricked some students into drinking and smoking at stage.Well, some of them are extremely cruelly.
As much as it has been seeming that satan has been winning, God has always had a plan for us. He speaks through Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then, you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."
Jesus Christ has given us great hope in prayer. Matthew 7:7-12 "Ask and it will be given to you;seek and you will find;knock and the door will be opened to you..." He request Moi University to believe in Him and all will be set free from the captures of satan.
Every Saturday, in Lecture hall 3, a group of Christians; Moi University Seventh Day Adventists meet to worship God. I am convicted that, change will will only occur for the better when people decide to worship God in truth.
Take this step, come to church and let us worship our true God.
May the Lord bless us all.
May the Lord bless Moi University.
In Jesus name,
                      AMEN

                                                        THE VICE CHANCELLOR'S FINALITY
The Vice Chancellor of Moi University,professor Mibey, called for a meeting with the students at the administration square. This was to address the issue of demonstration of Sunday, 22nd February 2014 that resulted from the rape and murder of Charity Muthoni Maina. She was a third year student at the school of arts.
Students started demonstrating after the news of her death spread. This led to the intervention of the police, though, they left after their vehicle got burnt by angry students. This necessitated the Vice Chancellor to speak to the students in the quest to maintain peace.
He started at around 10 am by expressing his apologies to the family, friends and all the students for the death of Charity. He promised that all the funeral arrangements would be handled by the University.
Professor Mibey said that, in order to ensure the security of all the ladies,  new rooms would be set aside and that they would be relocated before Friday of this month. "We will request the police service to give us a post within the University." he said . He dwelt on the issue of electricity for long explaining the measures that would be taken. Street lights would be installed at stage especially to cover darker places. The University's security department would be mandated to have regular inspection at night. He said that this would improve the security of most parts within the University esecially those that are further away.
He informed the students that the University was aware of their challenges and that they would be solved before the end of this month. "We are aware of the challenges you are facing, please give us till the end of this month and we will ensure that they are solved"
Professor Mibey ended the meeting at around 10:30 leaving the chairperson of Moi University students association, Omondi, to disperse students from the administration square.
The students left for stage in large numbers chanting angrily,"comrades power!"

                                                   THE MISTREATED COMRADE

                   
Electricity is a very important aspect of any student in Moi University, especially among the students. It is very sad that most of the students in C houses have no electricity. That, they have just been able to withstand this mess because of the promises they get from the relevant authorities.
The janitor of C houses has not been able to fully convince any higher authority concerning the need for electricity in that place. We are just left to wonder why nobody seems to be interested in the affairs of the students.
It is not necessary to explain the importance of electricity in the students' hostels to the responsible authority, because being a higher learning institution; it means education is being neglected in this place. Students can not be able to carry out their studies in their rooms especially during the night or early in the morning.
The residents of C houses carried out a peaceful demonstration yesterday, the 17th February, in the quest to get attention. I only doubt if anything will be done in the near future. With the many problems of crowding in hostels, inadequate mattresses and other facilities, life is now more difficult.
I pity my fellow comrades. I pity those who lack electricity in their rooms. I pity those who have had to suffer because of inadequate mattresses.
I hope that the janitor will carry out her role of ensuring that the students in C houses have electricity, not only during the day but also during the night.
