I WON’T COMPLAIN

By Lau Lawi

I won’t complain if they don’t hold MUSO elections this academic year. I won’t be a mule over the issue of the current SGC remaining in office till July. Furthermore Mr. Dida said that all politicians are the same. No matter how sweet-talking they may be.

The current SGC may be having the most eloquent orators ever to grace the SGC offices since I joined this University with a defect, sorry, I meant a difference. I like the way they represent our issues on Facebook and social sites rather than presenting them before the senate. I just remember the hopes we had in them; hopes of delivering us to the “studental Caanan”. I remember that we were to see changes when ‘the noise goes down’. Up to now the noise is still high I presume.


Their promise of putting up a swimming pool is still a mirage. Currently I have to do with what is available: Kesses Dam and puddles of rain water as I circumvent the muddy road to my Diaspora residence. As I walk I just curse at JAB for the double intake. They didn’t bring any real difference for my university has to send me home for long holidays equivalent to the years I could have stayed at home and waited for the ‘normal’ admission.

Changes in the academic sector are yet to be actuated. I have to move up and down the academic offices armed with my signed exam card looking for missing marks. I thought the Academics director said that will be a thing of the past by the end of his tenure. I still have missing marks in my third year transcript and I just have three months before they tell me to sign out of my cockroach infested room. Who will come to my rescue?

Yes, yes, yes. I won’t complain. All in all I will be disappointed not to see another crop of Moi University Shop Owners in office. I will be disappointed not to hear another set of lies in the form of promises. I will be disappointed not to attend another cross-fire where secrets are revealed and tyranny of communal numbers applies.

I won’t complain but I will be disappointed. Still I have three months of hoping and waiting.
