STUDENTS DECRY DILAPIDATED STATE OF HOSTELS

By Kamau Wainaina
Students residing in varsity hostels are up in arms over poor condition of the hostel rooms.

The students have raised concern over lack of light in washrooms and dilapidated state of the rooms which they say have worn out floors and do not have power sockets.

“There are no light in most of the washrooms and this has made using the facilities difficult,” said hostel B resident.

He said the institution ceased to treat students as clients adding that the concerned authorities should address the menace with speed.

The students, majority fourth years, have also expressed fears over their security within the institution reiterating that if it does not move with speed to fix security lights at strategic points, cases of insecurity are poised to soar.

“There are no security lights in most parts of the university and I fear insecurity might soar,” added the student who sought for anonymity.

The students have faulted the university’s management over lack of initiative to renovate the institution’s hostels.

He said, “The institution should carry out regular maintenance of the rooms to improve their conditions.”

The same sentiments were echoed by several students residing in Hostels A, F, G and E.
