Moreover, there have been complaints that the Academic Secretary is unresponsive to pleas of the students in relation to Academics. This is in contrary to how the former Academic Secretaries; Fredrick and Tryphone responded to the woos of the students.

4. Secretary-General, Peter Ogutu, Orders for Return of Normalcy at the Student Center after its Closure on 25/01/2023.

The Student Centre remained closed for the past two weeks. This was due to the lapse and subsequent termination of previous service providers’ contracts and the opening of applications on the same. It was also undergoing renovations. Unfortunately, comrades were being inconvenienced in terms of outsourcing for services outside school; which had proved to be expensive. The SG, Peter Ogutu, on Thursday released a chilling memo on the repercussions that would occur to the stakeholders if normalcy wasn’t restored after 72 hours.
