“DEFER YOUR COURSES AND VACATE THE VARSITY PREMISES BY MONDAY”WARNS THE PRINCIPAL TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT CLEARED FEES.

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 3^rd 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!)

HELB:BLESSING OR CURSE IN CASH DISGUISE??

The elections are over,the CATS are beckoning and the HELB is almost ending,
One of the joys of being a comrade is the privilege of having a multi-billion shilling government funded kitty to utilize however it is deemed fit. Of course these monies are meant to be repaid once one starts earning an income but the general rule that applies is that the future will sort itself out when it graduates to the present. Thus, the curse of ‘the little brown men’.
Of course there are exceptions which include the perceivably shady village bred folk and the goody two shoes types who eat, sleep and dream of the library amidst much mockery and disdain. The result is that most eventually end up going with the flow succumbing to the pressure from their peers. So what exactly constitutes the average cycle of the HELB loan?
At first it starts as a rumor. Someone posts it on Facebook, a phone call here and there and voila, that eagerly awaited confirmation that ‘the little brown men’ have actually landed in town. It could be any amount between Sh. 5,000 to Sh. 30,000 but the excitement that it’s arrival elicits is unquantifiable.
The first step is always to reduce the amount to ‘manageable levels’. After all, student accounts are not known to host large sums of money so in order to relieve undue duress on the account it is only reasonable to withdraw a modest sum. This maiden withdrawal is usually to the tune of a couple of thousands and may be used to purchase liquor, pizza’s, chocolate and what have you. Whatever remains out of it may be squandered.
Traditionally, HELB usually arrives between a week and a weekend before the reporting date. Since comrades are still at home, it is requisite that they entertain their neighbors, extended family and fellow villagers before heading back to campus. Besides, how else will they know you are in the University?
Upon arrival, there is the little ritual of getting reacquainted with friends after a long period apart. This could be in the form of shopping, partying, raving, throwing parties, going out…well, you get the drift. Woe unto (s)he who refuses to partake in these customary practices as they shall be labeled stingy, uncool and plotless.
In the early weeks of the semester, the student center is a hub of activities as comrades flock the establishment to mingle and interact over drinks and delicacies such as beef and chicken. However, as the semester progresses, the diet gradually changes to chicken products such as eggs served with ugali. Towards the end, it will have evolved into chicken food which essentially implies cereals like green grams and githeri.
It has been established that there exists an inverse relationship between HELB and relationships. When the bank balance is high, coupling in campus is often at it’s peak often at the gentleman’s bill. When the tide in the bank account goes down, romance sinks to an all time low.
By the end of the semester, many a comrade are penniless, loveless and oblivious of the piling debt sheet at the 18th floor of Anniversary Towers where the fund’s headquarters are located. Much to the joy of the nerds and the

SECURITY MEETING REPORT ON THE BREAKAGES ON MARA HOSTELS BY ROGUE CAMPAIGNERS.

                                     THE CROSSFIRE—THAT NEVER WAS!

Wednesday 22^nd of Feb 2012 was a day waited for with baited breath by a huge part of NUC students body. It’s the day the various contestants for the 3^rd SGC members were expected to meet and present their manifestos and policies to the subjects they were to lead if they emerged winners in the elections to be held 2 days later(Friday 24^th Feb). They have been campaigning for the better part of the week and it was time to prove to the audience their prowles’ in public speaking which is an attribute every leader should have.

Like in American politics, the main idea behind  a cross-fire is to have the candidates present manifestos and policies and debate them in a candid way before their voters and whoever seems to have the strongest points draws more voters. This is contrary to the hooliganism portrayed in NUC yesterday in the name of a cross-fire.

So eagerly was the event anticipated and waited for that by 2pm the hall was packed to capacity forcing  supporters to stay outside. The voters, some as high as kites sung in praise of their desired candidates and carried banners the size of highway billboard  adverts while some cursed and swore  like sailors that their candidates were the best.And that's where they missed the point. It was the candidates who were supposed to market themselves and not the supporters marketing them. They were supposed to be an audience of the debate between the candidates and contribute by nodding or clapping briefly, I know many of you think I’m crazy for suggesting this but that’s how it should be done and especially now that you are in the highest institute of learning on earth-university, you  should be civilized enough to know that. Period.

The ugliest part of the whole thing is when “missiles” were launched from each side in what saw Kennedy Ocholla,a former secretary general get hit by a stone as he tried to calm the warring sides. It’s by good luck that the former SG is either big enough or too hardy that the stone did not do much damage as intended. As the havoc was wrecked, the journalists continued covering the events and some suspecting that they may have been caught in camera doing the crime, they turned to trying to blame the journalists for unfair coverage as if they have a background in media training and when that failed too they tried to incite the crowd against the journalists especially yours truly of NESHCOURT who one of the them was seen trying show the others where he was. He was so frustrated that the people he was trying to incite against yours truly never acted for it seems they have better reasoning than him despite having been a former leader.

The contesters and their agents, the  elections committee team and security officers had to be called in quick closed door meeting with the administration to avert a looming crisis as the warring groups kept on forming groups and approaching each other in a daring way. The tension around was tangible and were it not for a few brave students who restrained each other from fighting it would have been a disaster. Probably I would be typing this from the comfort of my bedroom at home.

                                            CHAOS IN MARA HOSTEL AT NIGHT.

Enter night. After all the tension that happened during the day, a group of people who I will refer to as hooligans/goons/criminals stole their way to Mara hostels and ran havoc all over the place breaking doors and scaring the hell out of the poor young ladies. The guys had sticks and to make the matter worse some even had dangerous daggers dangling from their waists. They were chanting the names of two  of the contestants and so it is ALLEGED THAT PROBABLY, they might be their supporters. In a period of less than thirty minutes the 18 doors, one belonging to a janitors office and one belonging to a contestant,Chelimo Emmaculate Onkangi had been broken.

It is such a shame that most of the doors that got broken belonged to the ladies showing how naive and uncivilized people can get if they think that violence should be still be directed towards women. I condemn such an act in this 21^st century in the strongest possible terms as women are our mothers, some our sisters, our girlfriends, our aunts, our guardians and even our grandmas. How I wish they can recall the words of the former Maendeleo Ya Wanawake chairlady Zipporah Kittony..or worse still,let FIDA hear of it!

                         SECURITY MEETING TO DISCUSS THE CHAOS

It’s out of the above incidence that the Returning officer, the no-nonsense Prof.Oyaro called for a meeting between the candidates, their agents, security officers, the electoral commission and deans of students office to discuss on the way forward so as to avert any further crisis.

                                       THIS IS WHAT THOSE PRESENT SAID;

                                       PROF.OYARO

Prof.Oyaro is known to speak his mind irrespective of whose toes he will be stepping on without fear or favour.He is tough according to some and is even thought to be arrogant by some while he is also known to be among the most sociable lecturers in NUC.Due to his partisan stand in various matters, he is thought to be very fair as he is strict no-wonder he was elected as the returning officer.

He started by expressing his disappointment with the unfortunate event despite the yesterdays long meeting to discuss on matters to do with peace. “As the candidates, you deserve to take responsibility for what happened because it is criminal and deserves condemnation in the strongest terms possible. Do you know we can decide to send the whole lot of you, candidates at home? Do you think the most important reason as to why universities exists is to form SGC’s?’’Paused a furious Prof.Oyaro.

He continued, “As the candidates you should give us, ie the returning officer and the commissions enough reasons as to why the elections should not be postponed or all in all be banned from this campus until those in first year graduates in four years times? My members of the commission are saying that they don’t feel very safe working under  this condition and they are not even sure of their security that they will be safe after announcing results tomorrow.In fact,we are here to step down right now unless you assure us there will be peace. If there is any tension tomorrow, as the returning officer, I will pack and leave for I have the mandate and power  to refuse to announce the elections as well as to announce the winner. So starting with the two chairmen, tell us how we are going to replace the broken doors and the way forward?”Boomed the good old Prof While scratching  his great grey beard as his eyes beamed with rage and untold wisdom.

                                                                        JAMES THUO.

He was the first to speak. “It’s so unfortunate that such a sad thing happened barely hours after the peace meeting we had. I don’t  need to go about the bush, truth is known about whose supporters were those, I therefore need them to take responsibility of their supporters actions. I say this without fear of contradiction that it is James Seneiyas supporters who were into it. They were chanting his name. It’s not a secret. I  got a messages from trusted friends who warned me about the coming group of harmed   people and I even informed the campus security,im so disappointed by the security because on arriving there they met the hooligans and started chatting with them in their native language and nothing happened. I call upon those responsible to act peacefully and stop harassing fellow comrades. I call upon the administration to bring in police to protect the voters tomorrow in case of anybody wanting to misbehave. It’s so unfortunate.

                                                                        JAMES SENEIYA

Seneiya was the second to speak and this is what he had to say “I will start by saying that I cherish peace. What happened is very unfortunate and I was at Runda hostels speaking to some students  when I got a text message informing me of what was happening in Mara hostels. I rushed there  and managed to calm the situation down by talking to a few people who I found on the ground. I will offer myself to prevent such an event from happening again and I will continue to preach peace as a preventive measure.Meanwhile,I also would like to ask people not to inflate the whole issue and at the same time I ask that the police be brought not to protect some people but all the students.”Concluded James.

                                                                       KOECH ESIDOE

He was among the first to speak among the contesting sec-gens. “I’m so sorry for the events that happened last night. I was attending a prayer meeting (he is the YCS, Secretary) so I only learnt of the unfortunate issue later. I think if there was enough time for the leaders to talk to their candidates after the evening peace meeting, this would not have happened. I also partly blame the internal security for all the problems as  they only respond after problems have happened. This makes them act as first-aiders instead of security whose job is to detect and prevent crime.”Concluded the soft-spoken Koech

                                                                          OKWIRI ALEX

This is what the 3^rd year Communications and Public Relations class rep had to say “I was in Mara hostel preaching a message of peace when I got a text message from a trusted friend who warned me about a large group of armed people coming to campus. I got concerned about my security and on my way out, I met the said group walking inside the corridors chanting Semeiyas name. I later met Semeiya in the corridors and paused a question to him, He told me that he was speaking to them and they had calmed down. I have personally lost trust in the campus security and they are the ones I blame squarely for their failure to tame the situation.I'm also of the idea that the police should be brought in so as to bring in the necessary security during the elections.

                                                         JULIUS WESONGA

He was the first to speak among those in the finance docket. He had this to say “I will speak the truth without fear, I saw the group and they were chanting Semeiyas names. I think this is a plot by some people to scare away some voters so that thy leave for home and hence reduce the number of voters for some candidates. It is wrong and illegal”

                                                   DANIEL KIBELEKENYA

He was the second to speak in the finance docket and this is what he had to say “I’m  very sorry for what happened. I went to Mara and found a lot of noise. Met  Seneiya trying to calm the people and he told me how unfortunate it was that people were behaving that way. I personally think that the people who did that belong to another camp and were trying to use Seneiyas names so as to show how bad he is. Maybe the source of all this is the cross-fire”

                                                       MARIA AGWATA

She was among the first to speak in the health docket. She just asked for the police to be availed on the voting day to enhance security.

                                                              EMMACULATE MUTHEU

She said that she had no apologies to make for she had learnt about the issue during the meeting. She was not aware, She said that she squarely blamed the security and they should pay for the  broken doors.

                                                                       VALENTINE CHELIMO

She asked for the security issue to be addressed seriously and also asked for the students to be talked to on the need to enhance peace and live as brothers and sisters.

                                                                 CHELIMO EMMACULATE ONKANGI

She is the only first year lady candidate contesting for a seat in the SGC.This is what she had to say “I’m a resident of Mara hostels and I’m a victim of last night incidence for my door in second floor room X.I went ad met the people making the noise and I ascertained that they were from the two camps. They were not only from Seneiyas side as its being painted to look like. I also want to say that my two agents have been threaten in the past and I want the security to handle it

                                                 FRANCIS ODOYO

He was among the first to speak among those contesting for the VCs or the Vice chairs seat and he said that the security issue was the main issue of concern to the students as at that time and requested for police officers to be deployed.

                                             KENNEDY LANGAT

He was the second to speak and the “Tingisa gitole ya GANU” guy said that the only way forward was for the students to be preached about peace as peace love and unity was the only way.

                                        JOSEPH NJOROGE

He said that it is clearly stipulated in the constitution that whoever is engaged in destroying property should be reported to the police and so the police should be told of the whole thing and left to handle it, he  also said that it is unfair to ask the whole lot of candidates to be responsible of the mess created by the supporters of one candidate and hence let everybody carry their own cross.

I have deliberately left out the comments made by the agents for majority of them were saying something to support or echo what their candidate had said and also some were almost turning the session into a blame game session and were out to settle personal scores.

The dean of students the last to speak before Prof.Oyaro called in Mistry Mitheka who is vying for catering to pray followed by Fr .Dr.Rono for Prof Oyaro said that he had a feeling that the candidates and students body needed God more than they needed police. This is what dean of student had to say.

                               AMBROSE KOECH(DEAN OF STUDENTS)

“I’m very concerned about the well being of all our students and so I have liaised with the administration to avail very tight security tomorrow. We will have plain clothes policemen as well as uniformed police monitoring the whole process. We will also have a contingent of anti-riot police stationed somewhere within the compound who can respond in less than one minute in case they are called. But let us have peaceful elections and you are the determinants of peace for you can decide to be peaceful. We condemn the act that happened in Mara in the strongest terms possible and so let’s be disciplined. I urge all the students to k now that there is a circular from the HELB saying that any students involved in any indiscipline case, they be notified so as they withdraw their loans and support from them immediately. Thank you and let us observe peace.

                                              *EDITORS FOOTNOTE

The number of Chelimo Onkangis room has been labeled as X as a security and privacy concern to the occupants of the room.

The NESHCOURT MEDIA, wishes to advise its fans, who are also the supporters of the various candidates to avoid jeopardizing their candidates position and tinting their names by doing various crimes under influence of alcohol and then letting blame be upon the contestants for when the law takes its course, it will only deal with individuals. This does not however mean that you don’t cheer for your candidates of choice.

We wish all the candidates success and also hope all the supporters will maintain peace during this short period of politics before we go back to the main business that brought us to NUC, STUDIES:

Exactly less than 28hrs from  now NUC will have a new SGC and may we accept whoever wins as our leaders and don’t hate or hit your fellow comrade due to the results, incase of any problem, we have an efficient electoral team to guide us on what to do and so we should follow protocol.

Lastly,NESHCOURT accepts critics and praises from the fans in equal measure as long as it’s done in a genuine way but not as baseless threats. Praises drive us into doing even better while positive criticism works to build and strengthen our weak points.

THANK YOU FOR READING AND BEING A FAN OF THE TOUGHEST COURT IN TOWN!!!

DARING FRESHMEN STEAL THE SHOW FROM THE POLITICIANS AND A SCIENCE—TECH WORKSHOP.

Fridays are happy days in campuses across this country if not across the world. There is a unexplainable joy that engulfs the soul and excitement that stimulates the heart when one leaves the lecture halls satisfied that you have done your share of the lectures on a Friday. I was therefore in such a mood after  I cleared my Television and Cinema lecture at 10:16AM and was enjoying a cheerful banter with the youthly  lecturer when chants of “haki yetu!”And “comrades??Power!!!” filled the humid mid-morning Narok  atmosphere.

                                   The source and reason of the demonstration

From the onset of the semester, the freshmen have been spoiling for a demonstration. They have been complaining about a range of problems affecting them; from the uncompleted hostels where they are staying to the other general problems affecting other students such as the long queues’ in the students mess. They therefore seemed to have had enough when the electric power in their hostel was disconnected. In the new Mara hostels they had been enjoying the power from two double sockets in every room with each socket being able to serve each student. In Serengeti and Suswa hostels there is only one socket and hence students are forced to buy extensions so that they can share the power effectively. The four sockets used by the freshmen were withdrawn and only one left. The only one left was also disconnected and hence they had to go to other hostels to charge their electric applications such as computers and phones. On the second day, they couldn’t bear it and hence the demonstration.

                             The actual demonstration, and the Martin Luther wanna-bes,

What happened took my mind recalling  several ages  ago about various human rights activists who have walked the earth and left a mark to be admired and enjoyed by others. I mourned their souls and celebrated their achievements. In their various speeches; Malcom X and his speech on the black revolution, Che Guevara and his speech “the Great Revolutionary medicine”. John Kennedys speech “ask not” as well as the famous speech given by Mandela. The speech was titled “I’m prepared to die “and was concluded in the following words, “During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die”
Perhaps this is the same spirit that got into one Kirong Kibet,a freshman majoring in Political Science when he gave his now  almost famous speech to the principal and other fellow freshmen seated on the tarmac road which heads to the campus from the main gate.This man Kilong,!He bellows like an ancient Roman bull fighter and commands like an army general. “Wasee Wasee!!Tulieni”is all he needed say and the students would get calm like a horse bound and controlled with reins by a master rider. It was during that period of calm which he commanded from the fellow freshmen that he broke into the speech.
“Mr.professor  with all due respect we want you to know that we respect you by virtue of being our father, leader and principal. We honor your decisions and have profound  believe in your guidance, BUT we have a problem which we would like you to SOLVE RIGHT NOW. Our rights have been trampled on in this institution for so long and thus we want you to explain to us if we are students  of this institution or not. We have to share sockets and the risk of us losing our property is high because nobody is sure of anything  anymore.Sir,im  a poor son of a peasant from the slopes of Mt.Elgon and I fear I may lose my laptop in the confusion of moving from room to room charging it, where or when do you think I may ever acquire another laptop ever in life? It cost me a miracle to get that one” From where I was watching all the drama unfold, I saw Prof Serems’ face  trickle a bead of sweat. He looked at  Kilong with a eye of secret admiration and he knew the son of the peasant farmer from the slopes of the ever-politically hostile and volatile Mt.Elgon had him cornered the good professor  at last.
Prof. Serem tried his side of speech in his usual calm way but it did not seem to grab the attention of the charged and agitated comrades like that of the young Kilong. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are like a family. We have important visitors around who have  to behave well till they are gone. We want to have them help us in sciences and technology and if we disrupt the meeting we may not get the 10m donor funding. Can we wait till they are gone and then…..” “NOOOOOOO!visitors are not important than us” was the resounding answer in unison. And I knew as they say in Kiswahili, “kimeumana”
Then enter Robert Oduor with his traditional whistle. It’s hard to fathom how this computer scientist was in the forefront of the demo instead of being with fellow scientists in the hall. Some fellas were just born to speak for the weaker members of the society, it reminded me of the young  Che Guevara who was a doctor by profession but a human rights crusader by birth and hence his words when explaining his translation of careers. "Except for Haiti and Santo Domingo, I have visited, to some extent, all the other Latin American countries. Because of the circumstances in which I traveled, first as a student and later as a doctor, I came into close contact with poverty, hunger, and disease; with the inability to treat a child because of lack of money; with the stupefaction provoked by continual hunger and punishment, to the point that a father can accept the loss of a son as an unimportant accident, as occurs often in the downtrodden classes of our American homeland. And I began to realize that there were things that were almost as important to me than becoming a famous scientist or making a significant contribution to medical science: I wanted to help those people. And the only way was championing for their rights.” Probably, young Oduor, had the same thoughts when he put his whistle tied on a old thread and hung on his neck and blew it like his life depended on it. It reminded me of the Ikolomani MP Dr.Bonny Khalalwe and his love for traditional circumcision songs and the whistle blowing!!They calmed down for a tea brake and to let the meeting on science continue to the relieve  of those responsible over the meeting.
                               The media houses present.
The media are news vultures. Said one American politician.Onother President had very bad relations with the media people and he declared  “If one day I walked on top of the Potomac river, the headline that morning would be “President can’t swim!!”.The saying that media are vultures was displayed by the journalists who were covering the science workshop in the hall. By nature, I know science and mathematics are not our favorite subjects.  the journalists, we would rather be in the drama and cover dramatic events rather than long boring scientific explanations that we neither those explaining don’t understand fully. That’s why all the journalists left the hall and were soon at the centre of the scuffle within a minute and was recording the events excitedly before the camera-shy freshmen said cameras off. But they will never understand how yours truly captured the best of the shots and sound clips!!Hope the media people will be here to cover the coming elections for its going to be such a big day.
                                  The politicians and other students
When the freshmen took to the pavements around campus, the other students watched from the sidelines and admired  the oratory skills of the freshmen leaders with a tinge of jealousy and admiration.See?demos don’t work in NUC, a few brave souls screams themselves hoarse as others watch on the sidelines waiting for the ones demonstrating to be victimized and sent home or to meet the committee of disciplinians.But it has never happened hence the spirit of comradeship is almost normally dead. The constitution gives a right for peaceful demonstration and nobody should be victimized for it. The freshmen displayed a beautiful spirit of cooperation and comradeship. The elections are looming and so the politicians who were around lacked a quorum to express themselves. I saw some of them dying to address the freshmen but the chance never arose. I saw some wish that they had oratory skills like those of Kilong but they should know good public speakers are born but you can also train. There is a unit on public speaking offered in communication department of this campus and so before the cross-fire on Wednesday, if you doubt your public speaking, time you went down to Runda looking for the department have mentioned above.
                           Incoming elections
Those to vying in any seat or aspiring to vote can or should have learnt a few lessons from our younger brothers and sisters in their demonstration. We are one family of Narokians and so we should shun tribalism and vote in only good leaders who will have affairs of the students at heart and not that of the communities they are from or those of their friends, when Kilong shouted comrades power, he got a reply not from his clansmen  but from his fellow comrades irrespective of tribe. So far several contestants have given up and quit, some due to personal reasons and others due to pressure exerted on them at the school level because they couldn’t meet the academic threshold. Beautiful posters of contestants have emerged allover and I wish the candidates with the best plans and manifestos for us to win!!
See you at the ballot box and I leave you with this quote by an American Journalist and columnist, Franklin Pierce Adams(1881-1960) who said;
Elections are won by, men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.!

MAJOR CONTESTANT PULLS OUT OF THE RACE TO S.G.C WITH JUST 12 DAYS TO GO TO ELECTIONS.

Yesterday a major contestant pulled out of the race to capture the secretary general’s seat in NUC.With just a few days to go to the official campaigning period, the man gunning up for the second most top seat in the SGC decided to quit even after he had his nomination papers signed by comrades who were determined to see him elected.

Speaking to the NESHCOURT exclusively last night, the young man was upbeat about apologizing to his supporters and said he had spent the better part of the day consulting with close friends on what to tell his supporters who were so mad with him. “I still believe that we have people who can lead us well”

On probing on what really made him quit the last minute, he just said “It was something to do with my family and its private” he didn’t explain further and so the matter was laid to rest at that point.The NESHCOURT had decided to reach him to clarify matters and clear the air on matters which made him step down. So we can confidently clarify that the candidate stepped down on his own without ant intimidation or persuasion from anyone

Meanwhile NESHCOURT wishes to encourage the students to remain calm and campaign in a mature way, to remember that at the end of the day we are all Kenyans hence brothers and sisters. Keep watching this space for more information on the unfolding political scene.
