Drama unfolded today at Kisii University Migori branch as
the college was declared out of bounds for both leaners and management over
rent arrears.
The students who had turned up for their academic sessions
were astonished to find the campus entrance locked with two security officers
on stand-by waiting for any intruder.
Some of the students who spoke to members of the press said
that stand-off has lasted for more than 6 days and they have now run out of
patience.
Phillip Kisiagro, said that as students they owe the
university no fee arrears and they find no reason as to why the university
fails to clear up rent arrears.
Some of the students expressed their worries saying the situation
is likely to affect their end semester examinations.
The university’s gate is alleged to have been locked over
rent arrears running into millions of shillings.
The academic turbulence has had ripple effect on the
business community who say they have run into losses since their main clients,
students have opted to stay at home as the issue is being resolved.
The college’s principal Dr. Mongare Omare could not be reached
to comment on the matter, by the time of going to the press.
