MR.OKENG`OS STATEMENT ON ISSUE OF GIVING OF HOSTEL KEYS BEFORE LEAVING FOR HOME.

The NUC catering and accommodation officer Mr Tobias has this afternoon explained to the NESHCOURT the meaning of the memo which was posted on the campus noticeboards yesterday causing panic and anger in equal measure among the students body as it stated that students are advised to deposit the keys with house keepers in suswa room 109.On what the memo meant this is what he said,

"The main reason why students fail even in exams is because they dont follow regualtion,ignore them or are not aware of the meaning of some words.What that memo meant is that one can or refuse to leave the key.i advise the students to look up the meaning of the word "advised".It all depends with the individual and the word advise is not the same as orderded.If you go even to the airport,you are advised  to carry your bag on your own risk.Those that dont want to leave the keys can carry them home and they will not be different from those who will leave thirs as what matters is if one will have paid the required amount of money.If some feel that maybe we cant be trusted with the keys,they should know that their things will be save and that infact we have extra keys for every room."Said he,

"The PSSP students are required to surrender the keys before leaving for home and not to pay their accomodation fees.The number of days one stays with the keys from the opening day will be charged as one will be denying accomodation to the JAB students who deserve the accommodation.I'm aware some PSSPS have started mobilizing students through Facebook for support but that makes no difference.Unless one has a very special case and come to me personally in advance i will not allow any PSSP students to board in the students hostel."he clarified. 

On asking him to clarify on the issue of whether it is true the university has hired a building in town to act as hostel for the 3rd yers he said that he has no idea about such a thing.

 So relax comrades you can take the keys home if you want.
