Maseno University students have been put on the spot for engaging in hooliganism during student elections.
Newly appointed Kisumu County Police Commandant Joseph Limo has slammed university students in the region for engaging in acts of hooliganism and violence during their students’ council election campaigns.
Speaking to the press in his Kisumu Central Police Headquarters office on Monday, Limo said that students from the Maseno University in Kisumu West constituency have in the past engaged in criminal acts during elections.
Maseno University is expected to hold students elections for the 2015-16 year in October.
"Students are the future leaders and stakeholders in this country and they should not be allowed to waste their time in running battles with the police," he said.
He announced that stern action would be taken against any student caught engaging in criminal activities or hooliganism such as rioting, bullying, and vandalism.
