More Kenyans killed; withdraw KDF from Somalia

     36 Kenyans more gone through al shabaab's bullets, even before the 28 that died last have been buried.
     It is a high time the government of Kenya withdrew our loyal Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) from Somalia.
     If this is the only cure of this disease called al shabaab, then be it. How many Kenyans are going to die before the government works seriously?
     The KDF were deployed to Somalia to assist, not to take full control of the country. We cannot continue securing Somalia at the expense of our Nation.
     The al shabaab have proven to be really hectic and difficult for the government of Kenya to handle, why then are we still in Somalia? The al shabaab wants KDF out of Somalia, that's all.
     Although Kenya will be deemed to be a coward nation, I think we are not in a position to fight these rebels. Those who force Kenya to have it's troops in Somalia have none of their own there and they are not assisting much.
     It should be remembered that Kenya is a third world Nation, and we should not suffer just because the whole world is looking upon us with the Somalia issue. We are not part of Somalia, we are Kenya and I think we should have our own stands that are beneficial to the people of Kenya.
     The number of Kenyans dying daily in the hands of al shabaab is alarming. I wish the government of Kenya had sense for human life, then all this would not be happening.

Nothing to smile about; Maseno Students say

     Maseno University students now say that there is nothing to be happy for, except their academics.
     Some claim that the institution has done less to ensure there is development.
     'The university boasts to be the only university on the Equator, yet we have very few lecture halls', lamented a third year student in Maseno.
     Maseno University has been faced with several ills in the recent past. One of them being high level of insecurity and the student body has blamed the institution for this. 'There are few hostels and some of us are forced to stay outside the University', said Ndavera, a Media student, who also added that if the Varsity had put down clear strategies to accommodate all the student, then cases of insecurity would be unheard of.
     Failure by the Institution also to conduct a proper student election has also been cited as a way to make the student body weak; which should be the most powerful organization in the university.
     Dennis Kheri, the current director of sports said that they have waited long enough for the university to hold the Executive elections but in vain. 'It has been two months down the line, but nothing that has been done. We are going to push for the executive election to be as soon as we come back in January', he said.
     Students also say that there are less recreational and few sporting facilities and activities going on. Sharon, who is a fourth year student says that her skills in swimming have gone down following the absence of a swimming pool in the institution, saying that she has to travel to Kisumu to swim during weekends,which is very expensive for her.
     However, Maseno university boasts of giving quality education to it's students. 'This is a superb university. Although we have challenges, the lecturers are committed to their work and that's why we produce quality graduates', says a lecturer at the university.
