Moi University: Back to the Books, But What About the Issues?

Author: Jemedari Mwanawakiume

Get ready to hit the books, Moi University students! After a month of campus closures and student unrest, the university is finally reopening its doors on Friday, November 8th. The decision came after a series of meetings between university management, staff, and student representatives, aiming to address the issues that sparked the protests.

But hold up, what exactly happened? Students were furious about the VC's decision to close the university, claiming it violated their right to education. They also accused the VC of poor management and ignoring their concerns about staff issues.

So what's next? The university is promising a fresh start. The management board and student representatives are finalizing a "return to work" agreement, and the Higher Education PS will be on campus to welcome students back.

But will this be enough to address the underlying problems? Students are hoping this reopening marks a real change, not just a temporary fix. The upcoming weeks will be crucial to see if the university can truly address the issues that led to the closure and create a more supportive learning environment for everyone.
