Choose one; Either Muso CRC or Opposition

BY NYAMWEYA BW'OMARI

In the recent past, about a month ago, Main Campus politics took a twist after signatures (to oust The 25th SGC) ‘started’ to be collected by a group which later identified itself as the ‘opposition’. As it later came to emerge, the mission seemed impossible and the group had to change tact and ‘started’ now to review the old Muso Katiba—which is amongst the noblest ideas any opposition has ever thought of.

Remember that in Moi University there should be no opposition; at least according to the Green Book and the old Muso Katiba. In short, the opposition is an illegal entity in Moi University though morally it is very legal.

Currently, the Muso Constitutional Review Committee (MCRC) is underway with the redrafting of the old Muso Katiba but there is only one hitch. I have failed to understand the difference between the opposition and the MCRC. Every time I watch Campus headlines I’m sadly met with headlines like ‘Opposition takes the day as The 25th SGC take the night’ et cetera et cetera and the same names I see quoted under opposition are the same ones quoted under the MCRC!

The other hitch is that this opposition started at a regrettably high pitch that they literary dragged everybody to its ‘activism’: campus media, religious organizations, individual students and non-interested parties! This led to what was to be known as Campus Disillusionment. May be they were doing activism and may be they were objective.

This opposition then moved fast to fast-track the Muso Katiba amendment/review changing its name to MCRC—Muso Constitution Review Committee. Under this entity they should have known that they were now leaders and had to abstain from their previous activisms. Unfortunately they did not thus confusing the masses the more.

At one point they are bargaining for fare dis-increments, crying for the mis-management of the Muso institution and at another we see them speaking under the MCRC!

I will refer them to take lessons from activist Okiya Okoiti Omtatah. He should not at any one point be a Mutunga, a Keriako or even a Muthaura. And if he does, then he should cease his activeness in activism and start being a leader. Either way, everybody has the right to be what he wants, but not every time. Can you figure out Okiya Omtatah being the VC Moi and at the same time leading our ‘we go, we gos(Kamukunjis cum demonstrations)?

Let the 13 Commissioners choose to divorce one job and uplift the other. They cannot be a wife with TWO husbands. Alternatively let them separate one job until the circumcision of the Muso Katiba is through.

The ball is in your court Mr. Collins Bett (Chairperson MCRC) and we expect a smooth running hoping that nobody is eager to derail the Commission’s mandate and work; of course except the few comrades who don’t want change in Moi. File the divorce or separation case immediately.

Once you do that I know people will gain more confidence in the Committee and they will work hand in hand with ‘you’ to restore sanity in the Moi Muso System.

Do have an opposition-free week, I know you will!
