Moi University students on Tuesday, March 8, went on strike citing delays in the disbursement of funds by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) - which left many of them starving.
According to reports, the school banned cooking inside the hostels in 2019, leaving the learners with the single option of having to buy food from the eateries within the school. Many others have had to buy food from outside the school, but which many say is very expensive.
The students - most of whom depend on HELB loans for survival, have had to come up with alternative ways to make money to survive on campus, with many raising the matter with the institution.
