VACATE FROM HOSTEL, COMFORT RESIDENTS TOLD

By Kinyua Njeri

The Deputy Vice Chancellor-in-charge of student affairs, Prof. Nathan Ogechi, has urged Comfort Hostel residents to sign out from their rooms and relocate to other hostels by this afternoon. This follows persistent blackouts in the hostel.

The students, who have been wallowing in relentless blackouts since the last two days were forwarded the ultimatum, following the failure of the Power's transformer and main electric circuits.


In the recent days, the Kenya Power has been trying to fix a blown
transformer, all in vain. This caused blackouts in Comfort and
neighboring hostels.

At the moment, many residents are moving to other hostels within the campus. However, the men have no choice as they have specified Hostels in C and D to occupy, which have been initially meant for First Years.

This has caused much revolt among the continuing students who argue that their will is overlooked. The relocation comes barely a month since they were moved from VeeCam hostels due to inconveniences caused by the power system.

With students from the School of Engineering clearing from their rooms, the affected residents are expected to occupy them. The engineering students are going for a holiday after completion of the second semester examinations.
