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.
