FIRE MYSTERY

THE BURNT C HOUSES FENCE

Dark, soft soot and leafless branches pointing into the sky is all that is left of the few branches of the well-kept cypress trees fence that got burnt yesterday night at C houses. These houses are located west of Moi University's administration block, near Cheboiywa Center(commonly known as "Mabs" and a stroll around the area brings into view beautifully tended fence all around the blocks of houses.

 The fire occurred at around 8 pm causing students residing there to get into a state of panic and luckily enough, the fire was put out after about 1 hour having caused no major destruction. MUSO(Moi University Students' Organisation) chair, Mr. Omondi and the Security and Accommodations director, Mr. Guyo were among those who witnessed the impacts of the rising flames.

The cause of the fire remains a mystery but rumour has it that one of the resident students lit the fire due to unbearable situations that students there are going through more especially power blackout that has been going on for a period of 3 days.

  1. There must be some laxity in the management which should deal with the power issues in the campus effectively rather than wait for such incidences to occur.The" Do I care!After all I'm not affected the blackout situation in my own house" attitude should be done away with completely.Its the high time score cards were introduced to try and keep management to the toes.

  9. Whether ignorance from the side of administrators or misbehavior by the students both are unacceptable in society. Failure to think by the intelligentsia in society is costing the society a lot. Burning the fence does not solve the issue but instead worsens the matter. How the hell is the fence related to the blackout or was it an effort to lit the place?
