Yesterday at around mid-afternoon a memo signed by the
principal of NUC Prof.Serem was posted on the notice boards carrying a message that
from Monday the exam cards will start being issued and if one has not signed
the nominal roll-read, cleared fees! Should defer their courses and vacate the varsity
premises by Monday.
The memo was met with outrage by students who felt that it
was unfair and that the message was passed with an intimidation tone.
“I have cleared my
fees and so I want my services provided. When we opened for the semester we
were welcomed with a memo promising heaven and now not a single thing has been
achieved,look at the condition of the
mess building which was supposed to have been completed last month, where is the university bus? where is the journalism students lab
which was said to be already in place? So the principal has also failed and
nobody is harassing him to vacate the office, instead of improving the
work-study and internal bursary programme the administration is busy
threatening the students! Where are the students leaders that are barely a week
old into the system, swear I will scan that letter and send it to parliament
trough my area MP!”Ranted a former powerful member of SGC to NESHCOURT.He was clearly not amused by the turn of events. I was later
informed that he is likely to make his threats real as he is related to a
powerful MP who is a member of the parliamentary education committee.
The NESHCOURT can boldly claim that the better part of last
week there has been no internet services in the library and the computer lab.
This is a mistake at this crucial time when students are sitting for their CATS
and so they are undergoing untold suffering. The same case can be told of the
situation in the mess where things never get better, food is never enough and
you have to be among the very first to arrive to get served your choice meal.
The residents in the Maara hostels are still complaining about the state of
their hostel, from dirty water to poor lighting system to the state of
cleanliness in the corridors.
This state of affairs and confusion galore comes around barely a week after the
new SGC was delivered with promises to
solve students problems. But truth be told,
it’s so sad that SOME of them are still
in the politics arena and are so busy
countering the rest of the leaders to prove who is smarter now but my
message to them as a student of NUC is that they have exactly two semesters in
office and the first one is halfway.Histrory will judge them harshly by how
they perform and we have it in records that every negative deed they carry out
not aimed at promotion of student unity will not be tolerated by their number
one employer: the NUC students-let
transparency prevail!
Once you get into the public office make it your mandate to
serve everybody with the fairness he/she deserves because immediately you get
sworn in you become a leader of all and not a few clansmen who elected you. I
pray that the new leaders hold up unity among themselves because once the administration
and the barons of tribal politics get to see even the tiniest of cracks among
them, they will have a field day controlling them like puppets.
Good people of NUC,yours truly of NESHCOURT as a lot to say and this time I will not spare anybody who acts
in any way of impunity at the expense of justice and fairness,im ready to name and shame the perpetrators of
impunity in public offices for it’s the role of this tough court to do that..Just
watch this space.
And by the way..
1. Somebody tell me where the fire-extinguishers in the
hostels went, this is the 3rd time I’m asking.
2.What has happened to the water-tap outside
Serengeti(idlers from Mara and Serengeti
who like washing clothes under the tree as they discuss cheap politics and
gossip are having a hard time,kama mimi sijui nitafua lini!)
