Matatu and bodaboda stages have been relocated from Moi University premises.
This follows a directive by Uasin Gishu County Commissioner Abdi Hassan barring matatus and bodabodas from accessing the institution to ensure no stranger enters the varsity and ensure the safety of students.
“No matatu or bodaboda should be allowed into the institution. This is to prevent entry of strangers in, this will give the police easy time to conduct investigations,” said Hassanon Thursday during an interview on Citizen TV.
The directive comes a day after students held a peaceful demonstration seeking answers from the administration to assure them of security over terror threats.
The commissioner had earlier refuted claims that Moi University main campus in Eldoret has been targeted by terrorists, saying there are no intelligence reports on the same.
He advised students to remain calm, stating that reports of the four missing students should not be used as an indication that terrorists are targeting the college.
On Thursday, Vice Chancellor Prof Richard Mibey urged students to stay vigilant and allow the police to do their work, noting there is no reason to panic despite reports that four of its students have been missing for close to a month and are suspected to have joined terror groups.
Moi University Student Organisation chairman, Jared Mogire expressed concern over the recent developments and called on security officials to beef up security at the institution.
The police are now patrolling the university in a bid to ensure safety, a duty Commissioner Hassan had promised that they will increase the number of security to restore confidence among the students.
“We have been forced to send more security personnel to beef up the security at the varsity,” added Hassan.
