ENDANGERED LIFE OF COMRADES

STUDENT LVES AT DANGER

|By Glen Don||

Students' safety is threatened getting killed, or injured for an item not worth even a million.

Items on demand by gangs from comrades are mainly; phones and money, while those attacked and robbed in their households are attacked for other electronics and computerised gadgets.

Call for justice due to insecurity reasons 

Who should be held responsible for these heinous acts and inhumane happenings? Why should a fellow comrade attack each other, quite sad.

Address the security concern for the lives of the comrades is at risk? to hell with the attacks, to hell with the gangs

 In not less than a month, a Kisii University student survived from the hands of the gang who stabbed him in the stomach. The student, Douglas was allegedly stabbed for the money he had withdrawn from his account, he encountered the robbers who robbed him of the money he had withdrawn, which according to him was Ksh. 15000, the amount he received from the higher education loans board.

On Mashujaa day, Faith Adongo of Pwani University was stabbed in the neck using a kitchen knife and was later pronounced dead in the hospital she was rushed to. Faith recently joined Pwani University as a first-year student and has not stayed for long in the University. The reason behind Faith's attack is not known as some claim it is about the phone that the robbers demanded.

At Ramogi Institute of Advanced Technology (RIAT), the students held a demonstration of the insecurity situation within and around the campus. They are demanding that the security issue be addressed. This is after one of them was killed by unknown gangs and they alleged that the same gang raided another comrade and left him injured. 

Similar case happened at Kanjuku Vocational Training Centre, where Alice Wangechi, a 22-year old student was  to death allegedly by his lover near the police station, when she had just returned from the guise of recovering her lost phone.

The students of Pwani University and Ramogi Institute of Advanced Technology are now demanding justice for their fellow comrades over the inhumanity done to some of them and that is threatening their safety.

The life of comrades at tertiary is now at risk. The students sail through the insecurity situation within them. 

Who might be after the lives of the students, why attacks and what is it that should be done to avoid precarious conditions that is leading to injuries and deaths.

"Your first enemies are the ones dining with you on the table," at Kisii University, it was alleged that Douglas had made it known to his friends that he was going to receive the money he had received as loan from Higher Education and Loans Board (HELB) then it did not take half a day for him to be attacked. Who knew that he had money? Who knew of his en route? 

Faith and comrades at RIAT attacks are around campuses and not within their homes or far away from their institutions.

We cannot say it is friends, but also we should know that your first traitor is your friend. Even though it cannot be deductively said that it is his friends who betrayed him. But it is comrades who can be assumably said to have done it.

The students have turned to be their own enemies, comrades. Comrades are those who are friends, companions, fellow soldiers, or associates. Comrades are those who have come together for a joint purpose. How whence are comrades turning against each other?

When such attacks happen where students are butchered, murdered, mugged, and robbed, and it is possible that their fellow students are the mastermind, a lot lingers in mind. Where did the students lose their comradeship, and where did they start to be rained on?

The solution for the insecurity around campuses should start by combing the comrades' deviant, those who are rogue among them.

The call by the students for the insecurity concern b to be addressed is not a lineal matter where the security officers are the only persons to be burdened with heavy tasks as if the attacks are taking place from another planet.

The comrades should revive their comradeship then their unity will be back and peaceful co-existence will be a problem no more. The precautionary measures on security should not be neglected at all by the comrades

Security should be beefed up around the campus to ensure the students are safe, learning cannot take place where security is threatened. In some Universities such as Kisii University learning ends at 7pm, and it is this time when some of the attacks mostly take place.

Personal security and public security are vital. The students' and institutions' are priority.

FOR THE LOVE OF COMRADESHIP

SINGAPORE AND KENYA: DAY AND NIGHT

Kenya got its independence 1963 from the British colony, while Singapore got it two years in the month of August 9, 1965 from Malaysia after they had intense political differences which resulted to racial riots. Standing on the mirror line reflecting on the two countries between Kenya and Singapore, Kenya is extremely behind Singapore in terms of development.  Singapore hastily rose from third world country to first world country while Kenya still maintained the third world class.  Recently, Kenya's President Dr. William Ruto, is full of comparison statements: between Kenya and Singapore. Surprisingly, the phrase of boosting Kenya's world class has taken a beautiful twist where every politician is dreaming of Kenya to be futuristically the same level as Singapore. Pausing a bit, what's a dream? pondering on this; a dream literally means imaginary events while sleeping.  Our politicians are forgetting the dogmatic saying that goes 'action speaks louder than...

THE CHANGE EXPECTED IN REVERSE: GEN Z'S FADING STRENGTH

Photo Courtesy   Waking up to find the sun rising from the West and not East at dawn is enough to signal a whirl of change in the cosmological history. As a product of imagination it can be, who knew Gen Z would emerge as with a wave of change in a sundry of generations unexpectedly.  With this wave, the political sphere in every country worldwide is experiencing an overhaul.  Recently, protests have marred different countries with calls for change.  Bangladesh, Nepal, Morocco, Madagascar, Kenya are some of the countries that have at least tasted the pinch of the GenZ protests, while some of the protests have resulted in a change in the political sphere of the affected countries others have left less impact with mission and vision unreached due to fanciful impulse.  Generation Z, globally have not only expressed their anger through anger through protests and demonstrations, but also in politics where some of the African countries like Seychelles and...

NOT-NOW: HAVE SOME HUMANITY

photo courtesy (unknown) A person cannot retract a message that has reached a mass audience invariant of where it was said. One of the characteristics of communication is that you cannot uncommunicate.  A silent person remains wise until he utters a word. His Excellency Mutahi Kahiga might exemplify this phrase considering his tracenda during his speech at a funeral in Kiambu county, where he was addressing them in the local dialect.  Mr. Kahiga, seems to be deficient in emotions especially concerning the latest tragedy that befell the country when he cast aspersions on Raila Odinga's demise.  Raila Odinga, without doubt was akin to mumbo-jumbo within the luo community yet to his capacity during his lifetime did he not only benefit the Luo but became a national figure and perhaps a trademark in Kenya's politics.  In the history of human life, man is mortal and from soil we come, to soil shall we return. Regardless of the circumstances, man is...
