ELECTIONS: WHAT DOGHANA MUST DO

By Governor Joel Evans

Most Universities have already held or are planning to hold elections. However, there is growing anxiety on when and how the elections should be organized in Moi University's main campus.

The students are looking upon the Dean's office and that of the MUSO chair to set the exact date. However, it is obvious that Mr. Dhogana ought to dissolve the current SGC.


The students' governing council have had some achievements. The have not had bickerings over power. But it is sad that there has been laxity by some directors in dispensing responsiblities. The entertainment director has, on several occasions, failed to organize for 'kadundas'.

The constitution gives Doghana the absolute powers to dissolve the SGC now that the members are illegally in office. The MUSO chair has always taken a popular stand on matters pertaining student affairs. When the students' fratenity protested nomination of Stephen Macharia, he pushed for cancellation.

For starters, Mr. Macharia's nomination as the Muso editor-in-chief was seen as a political reward rather than based on merit. The office remains vacant. The dean of students cancelled it after Mr. Doghana vowed to resign if the proposed name was not expunged.

Mr. Doghana, to safeguard your legacy, you should dissolve and provide transition to the next office holders. To always stand tall, you have to put this issue to rest. And the sooner the better. Mark it as a matter of urgency in your diary.
