Moi university main campus students striked on 10th October 2019, due to many reasons concerning student welfare. A major problem that influenced the strike being that of preparing meals in the hostel.
The administration’s verdict was that no student should be found with electric appliances in the hostel so as to lower the electricty bill. This electric appliances include the kettle heaters , coils etc.
Due to this new rule, comrades who had booked rooms are now vacating since the life in the hostel is becoming more and more miserable. The housekeepers are now more strict making sure that any student found going against the rule are punished.

Cooking is one of the reasons why students prefer to stay in the hostel. Now it is better for students to rent outside so that they can have the freedom of preparing their own meal.
The administration will definitely loose a lot since students prefer to rent their own houses rather than staying in a place with no comfort. As at now the hostel are half empty ,this posing a major concern to both the school’s administration and the workers.
The administration should look into this matter seriously because in future this premises for accommodation will be forsaken by many hence the school will loose at large. Students are suggesting that the accommodation fee to be raised so as they be given freedom to use electric appliances other than making the place look abandoned.
