Mattress shortage hits Moi uni students

Moi University students have
complained to the school over lack of
mattresses at the university.
Angry students disrupted lectures and
rallied at the University grounds to
express their frustrations on the issue.
Students claimed that the catering and
accommodation department has been
slow to act on the problem. The
University’s rules does not allow
sharing of beds.
Speaking to Campus Vibe, the
Student’s Union secretary general
Nathaniel Akadima blamed the
situation on “unscrupulous dealers”.
“We have had a series of meetings to
confirm the issue. It is not a face value
issue, and the university has failed to
procure mattresses. How do you buy
mattresses from Kisumu yet we have
Raiply in Eldoret? Akadima posed.
Later, while addressing the students,
Deputy VC Prof Nathan Ogech said:
“The mattresses shall be available as
confirmed, and I promise to take the
blame if the assurance is not met. The
students should maintain calm and
check on the next course of action if
their grievances are not solved as
promised.”
