When the students of Machakos university went on rampage after a sham elections of students governing council, the university was closed for close to three weeks.
The students destroyed properties after it turned out that there was mass rigging and irregularities during their elections.
This week, chaos erupted during students organization of Nairobi university, Sonu elections following allegations of rigging, irregularites, intimidation of voters and bribing of voters!
That Babu Owino emerged the winner is not worrying. What is worrying is the allegations against him levelled by his main competitor Mike Jacobs.
He accused Babu of hiring goons to intimidate and bribe voters. Are university students copying what their 'seniors' are doing in the national government?
Cases of voter intimidation, bribery and rigging are common during our national elections. Is this what our 'learned' students at the university are emulating?
Seems like a case of 'like father like son' is very much at play in our university elections.
