Moi University Has Denied Banning Cooking Inside Hostels
The rules and regulations under student conduct in Moi University bars student from cooking within the hostels. The
institution, however, has denied claims that it has effected the clause. In a memo
directed to all staff and students, the DVC Prof. Nathan O Ogechi has
denied information that has been doing rounds that the activity is
abolished and anyone found will be severely punished. This office has received intelligence reports about some people who are
spreading rumours that the university has banned comrades from preparing
meal. The university management has neither discussed or banned preparation
of meals inside hostels.
The notice by the DVC narrates.
News had gone round sending chills across the lot staying in hostels
inside campus. Recent proceedings showed that the university has been
trying to effect certain changes. The Vice chancellor Prof Laban Ayiro
had given the students fraternity a surety that he would change the
image of the university and revolutionize its operations to increase its
effectiveness.
The changes many students believe will leave a positive mark at the
institution but the recent notice that there will be closure of cooking
inside hostels had started gathering a wind of resistance from them. A
number of students told the News desk that it would be suicidal for Moi
university to implement the clause arguing that it will be an instant
recipe to chaos."We will not allow the student leadership and university management to
blackmail us and make our lives unbearable. No one will allow them to
ban cooking inside hostels. This is an instant recipe to chaos. Prof.
Laban Ayiro knows it and we expect his actions to be justifiable," said Cleophas.Other students also saw the alleged move as a way of making the over
10,000 students boost sales in university cafeterias. A number said that
due to poor quality of food in the university cafeteria and their cost
implications, most of them prefer cooking their own meals. The group
suggested that the low sales turnover had worried the management who are
in dire need of funds to run the institution and banning cooking inside
hostel was a method arrived at to remedy the situation.
Business owners especially those with food kiosks inside the university
also read a bad motive after they were asked to relocate their kiosks
towards the campus stage. They supported the students’ claims that the
university was indeed focused in banning cooking inside hostels.
Moi university management had said that all the changes to be made will
be aimed at reducing the cost of running activities and eliminating
corruption at the institution. The Auditor general through his report
released months ago claimed that the university could not account for
close 1 Billion shillings. Edward Ouko led team of auditors said that
the university had more than a thousand ghost workers who were being
paid on a monthly basis.
According to the university management, cooking inside halls of
residence is only not allowed because of the dangers involved but not
because of the cost implications associated with it. Sources privy to
the management meetings point out that the university might introduced
Kitchenettes as in Chuka University a former branch of Egerton and building on the success that was seen when Egerton university introduced
the same in 2010. At Egerton, students are only allowed to cook inside
specials rooms fitted with electric coils. The rooms are referred to as
kitchenettes and are evenly distributed inside the Njoro campus.
