Students residing on the 3rd floor of Hostel K were involved in a conflict with the janitor and electrician on Tuesday over persistent power interruptions in their wing.
The students, who sought to take matters into their hands, claimed that it had been almost two months since they reported the matter to the janitor. The janitor, who was confused on what to do, told the students that the problem would be resolved as soon as funds were allocated. “The university has no funds to cater for the problem, but we have been asked to wait until the budget is read”, said the janitor.
It was reported that power goes off as soon as one person in that wing
begins to cook or do other chores using power. Even charging a phone is a
problem. Most are forced to cook late at night when people have retired
to bed and wake as early as 4 am to heat water up or prepare breakfast.
“Mtu ka mimi huamka 3 am kupika na kusoma sababu najua masaibu ya hii
power!” exclaimed one resident.
After a number of questions from the students, the irate electrician left the venue without repairing the switch. The residents insisted that they needed action. “I wonder how we will survive na venye exam imekaribia,” said another lady. The power situation is yet to be rectified.
