The news of the lecturers strike that had reached its 7th day being called off was not received well
by a section of students. The news that came around 7pm caught many students
off-guard as majority of them had down-loaded their books and began engaging in
other ventures. A sizable number of students had found comfort in their homes
while others had taken vacation to far off places such as coast and Nakuru to
have a good time with their friends. As per today’s morning news and the collapsed
talks between the Vc’s and the KUSU officials the previous day, no students
could predict the end of lecturers strike. In fact going by vicious protests
that lasted longer than usual around Kenyatta University premises, there was no
clue that strike could end anytime soon. This among many other factors finance
not being brushed aside, lead to laxity around campus premises with a good
number of students replacing reading with movies. This took place even with the
knowledge of the tight schedule ahead of them should strike be called off
anytime of the day as March is a month marked with lots of C.A.TS and take away
assignments there after examinations.
Beginning tomorrow, many students
are forced to wake up earlier than usual in order to beat deadline for their
take away assignments and prepare for their second cats scheduled for next
week. It is yet to be seen how students who took a vacation to far off places
will find their way back to campus and attend lecturers scheduled for tomorrow
and perhaps sit for the cats scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
