Five more years for Prof. Mibey
Moi University Vice Chancellor Prof. Richard Mibey has been added another five year term to serve in office. This was announced during yesterday’s Senate Meeting held at Moi University Main Campus. Prof Mibey will be serving his second and final term in office, which is expected to expire on September 2016. In all Public Universities, the appointment of the Vice Chancellors, is the prerogative of the Council and upon the expiry his/her term, the Council is charged with the task of either apponting a new or retaining the Vice Chancellor.
Hostel E breaks tradition
Hostel E, well known to many as the Archives, because of their seniority and ‘detachment’ from relationships in the campus, is seemingly breaking. This is becoming evidently clear after a recent research which showed that many campus guys nowadays are seen every Friday evening jamming the place, in pursuit of more promising hunting grounds or in company of a lady along these corridors, something that was rare in the past.
“Enyewe siku hizi mafourth year wameiva!” attested a guy implying that most fourth year ladies are very beautiful. Another keen observer residing at Hostel F, was quick to add that the ladies are now behaving like the rest.
“Hata siku hizi wanapika saa sita ka sisi.” said a male student.
Another day in the Court
On Wednesday all eyes were again turned to the International Criminal Court (ICC), where the confirmation hearing against the Ocampo Six’s last lot: Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura and Post Master General Hussein Ali took off. This comes a week after Ruto, Sang and Kosgei presented their case. Unlike the other hearing, the suspects’ defense team for each will produce two witnesses, with Uhuru Kenyatta expected to step on the witness box himself to shed on what he knows about PEV—something some international Criminal lawyers have termed ‘a bold step’. The court’s president Judge Ekaterina Trendafilova and her team are expected to give a verdict sixty days after the end of the confirmation of charges. They will determine whether the Case meets the ICC Threshold, after accessing both the prosecution’s evidence and the defense team’s evidence. The hearings continue today.
The worst month?
The month of September has now acquired itself a second name, ‘a month of mayhem and maiming’. This is because this month alone has claimed many lives in this country and even in other parts of the world more than what recent history has witnessed.
“… people are dying in this country as if we are in a war.” an MP was quoted in a TV footage. It is even becoming obvious whether you miss news or not, that the first bulleting on TV will be; some people have died in grisly road accidents, fire outbreaks or have imbibed the deadly illicit Yokozuna drink. Here in Moi University things are not different, the statistics of staff members loosing their lives because of illness and or accidents calls fervent prayers.
World Peace Day hosted in Moi
Wednesday the 21st of September marked the International Peace Day and was celebrated in the Students’ Centre’s Conference Room. The new born Peace Unit Program Group hosted the event which was officially opened by the Dean of Students Mr. Mureithi who urged students to initiate more in dialogue as a means of solving conflicts.
The clubs’ officials also urged staff and students to join their caravan of ‘Peace Unit Programme’.
Speakers drawn from various NGO’s also delivered talks on Conflict Resolution. Among them was Moi University’s Chief Security Officer Major (rtd) Ben Kiplagat.
Have a peaceful weekend!
Endelea hifo hifo, Shaddy. That's how The 3rd Eye manages to stay ahead of the rest.
