I kindly write to seek your intervention
on the above stated matter.
It has been known over time that
university students, especially girls are ill-mannered and do all manners of
filthy things to earn, with reference to media reports. The main root cause of
this has never been brought in lime light for discussion. However, the Higher
Education Loans board seemed to understand this plight when it brought up a
proposal to increase the kitty for higher education funding. However sir, our
hopes were put off when the budget for HELB saw a deficit of 10 billion after
government allocated it funds in the previous read budget.
Your Highness, as poor students, we
continue to suffer and risk terminating our studies while others are forced to
engage in illegal, shameful and unacceptable activities just for the sake of
attaining a degree. The cost of university education has continued to rise as
the funding has remained constant.
Like in this academic year, the tuition
fee for some institutions is expected to hike while the source to finance
remains same.
Sir, you will agree that a student who
is not psychologically settled cannot academically deliver due to the fact that
he is not sure of how assignments will be done, term papers printed amid other activities.
Students are crying foul but because the
society attitude towards them has always been “People with money” We
still remain neglected. We remain man handled and this is interpreted by others
as oppressions. The result is production of a negatively aggressive society
that that is not accommodative.
Honorable sir, it is not too late for
your any possible corrective and helpful intervention. As I write, personally
my hope of finishing higher education is being killed. No job! Hawking not
allowed in town! Turning to be a beggar to people who can’t listen to you and
at last remaining helpless only waiting for God’s mercy.
Your highness, take a scenario of a JAB
student receiving Ksh. 35000 per academic year, when school fee is Ksh. 36700.
food, clothing, academic materials and other academic costs excluded. No parental
or family aid due to poverty. Indeed some of the family members look forward to
your support. What will this be if not the next hell hear on earth? The bright
dreams of many young ignorant and innocent Kenyan is being killed in campuses
This is my view and does not represent
any group of students unless stated otherwise.
Any response from you will be highly
appreciated.
Yours Loyal
Okoti Aluora Patrick
