WHEN STRIKE IS THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION



An innocent   flower pot broken into several pieces on the entrance of Moi University Margaret Thatcher left evidences of what the angry Mob of Third years of the whole institution at large had caused upon hearing that they will be subjected to another long holiday immediately after completion of the current semester.
This came after the aftermath of a social media ‘Facebook’ post by Grace Musau From the famous information source ‘The Third Eye’ that stated, the third years will be Again be heading for another Three months at home at the expense of the Imminent incoming of the first years .
Personally I didn’t have the slightest ideas because during the morning hours nothing had come up, but how can news spread like fire in a forest?  the next thing I had were sirens and immediately the lab technician was ordering everyone out of the computer laboratory  not given anyone a chance to log out from our beloved social sites account putting into consideration how vulnerable it can be to the party that leaves his/her account minus logging out, I was once a victim whereby a con used my account pretending to be me and thus extorting people there money by  asking for large sum of money promising to return the day after with some enormous interest on top, the next thing that happened is history…
Back to matter of the day ,outside the information sciences school was one colleague who was being ruthlessly beaten by the mob, the reason being he tried to record the whole event, the repercussion of that is that all phones were returned to the pockets not to serve as the next victim, without further ado everyone was obliged to follow the crowd wherever it went because the activities of the institution were brought to a standstill, it was at this moment that comrades were able to pass on the news of the another forthcoming long holiday again.
Somewhere in the school of Arts, some student were seen jumping out from the tiny windows the reason being they had refused to comply to the urgent call of stopping their activities and start airing their grievances, stones were hauled inside that class and it was a scary scene to behold  but luckily no one got injured from the event .
All activities of the institution had come to a standstill and after matching up to the school of human resource and everyone get to know what was at stake then, it was time for the crowd to hold a huge gathering in front of the main student center and voice their discontentment because it was only at the platform of strike that any organization can lend some ears to its unsatisfied members.
It was at that moment that the so called campus politicians and aspirants wanted to sell their CVs and for sure all of them wanted to share the grievances with the third years lot, and what a suitable stage it was to bring oneself to the light because at that moment thousands of eyes were on you, but the voice was one, if the bed spaces aren’t enough then there is no need of bringing the first years at the expense of the third years who were by then just reported from a very long holiday.
Luckily a representative from the administration came forward and assured the third years they will not be going back to another holiday and all that news before was just a rumor, the crowd seemed to be discontent and wanted valid reasons to support that even after the it appeared it had been put down on ink and stamped. One was now beginning to wonder what would it take to make them believe it was true but one can never argue against these one force of nature that actually had the trick to make people disperse: HUNGER, it was that time of the day that the stomachs were seriously demanding for its refill rights and one by one people started dispersing to their respective rooms to attend to this series call
In the end the students had taken the information with a slight pinch of salt and now everyone is keen to know what the next step will be because statically speaking the fore mention number of the incoming freshers which is said to be around 7000 is just enough to occupy all the bed spaces not even mentioning the third years whom they have been assured they will still be surely  on session and the fourth years who  already know that they have the only the remaining semester to finish their four year if at all they were four years to complete their studies, so it’s realistic when one says the space will be scarce in the compound and a lot of lingering questions hanging in everyone head are  still to be answered, the next step the university will take is so crucial and a lot of stun decisions will have to be made whoever will be affected isn’t clear at the moment but what they say out there is that some group will be in tears come the end of the semester, will it be the third years to be subjected to another long holiday or the incoming first years will  have to put on hold their ecstasy of joking a university for the next three months, or even someone may decide it’s the fourth years to be the sacrificial lamb, all that will be answered in their future, right now everything is back to normal and everything appearing to run smoothly.
