MASINDE MULIRO CLOSES AS THE SEMESTER FINALLY ENDS

By Ejakait Vincent

Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) finally draws the curtains on its first semester after completion of the end of semester exams. The closing date couldn’t come at a more opportune time as the Lecturers and non-teaching staff are expected to join their colleagues from all over the country in the nationwide strike.

The information which was signed and dispatched by the Registrar of Academic Affairs, Mr. Mabonga, stated the following:

Official closing date for 1st semester...........23rd January 2013
Official opening date/registration for 2nd semester………..1st February 2013
Official commencement of lectures for 2nd semester……………4th February 2013


The move has received mixed reactions with many students viewing it as damage control for the anticipated lecturers and non-teaching staff strike. In so doing, the University administration expects to kill two birds with one stone; that is, give the students the inter-semester break and prevent squandering of learning days as a consequence of the strike.
