POLITICIANS ARE MISUSING COMRADES POWER
As MUSO election are looming, Politicians around are already up on their feet to seek recognition. They are always in the forefront in doing anything for their selfish interests. These politicians are taking advantage of comrades’ situations and campus events to seek a political platform.

After inciting us to fight last year, these people are out once again to cause tribulations so that their influence can be felt amongst the comrades. Unfortunately, they are using comrades’ power to pursue their personal interests.

When the schools of Education and Arts and Social Sciences were out demanding for their marks last month, it was purely a peaceful demonstration for academic reasons. However, we saw them take over the peaceful demonstration and changed the subject from academic to political.

We watched as they denied the MUESA and SASS officials to address the crowd at the student centre. We saw them disorganize the DVC and Admin envoy several time, and finally at the administration block, they went ahead to speak irrelevant things.
The recent tension and unrest within the campus again have been caused by these power hungry lads. After the Friday demo that led to the arrest of several comrades, it would be just to stage another demo to pressure for their release. But after they were released on Saturday the demo became invalid. Unfortunately, these people went ahead to cause tension on Tuesday morning wanting to demonstrate for unknown reasons. Normal class program was paralyzed because of this.

I feel that its time these people should stop misleading comrades. The power to demonstrate should be used appropriately for more important issues and the subject of the demo must be maintained.

Peace is cheap. Let’s maintain peace and ignore the radical politicians seeking recognition through harmful ways because the effects will be to us all. As much as they pretend to help us, the truth is that they are simply mobilizing us to recognize them.

 In as much as we all wait with baited breathe for the forthcoming elections, we cannot help but ask for sane leaders. It is about time we knew when and why to demonstrate. Let us not act on ulterior motives perpetuated by a cocoon of individuals that would otherwise be compared to the vultures. Yes, we are all well aware that behind every leader there are a few goons, but my ten dollar question is: are some of these leaders worth breaking our bones for? Are some of them worth shedding tear gas tears for?
With one accord let us call for peace!!!

REIMBURSEMENT IN CAMPUS LEADERSHIP

REIMBURSEMENT IN CAMPUS   LEADERSHIP If one wants to utilize fully the campus opportunities and resources legally and illegally, getting into campus leadership is always the easiest preference. Campus leadership has seemed to become very vital especially to the politicians, their tribesmen and to the University Administration. At least every campus administration has an influence in student elections so that the status quo in the Administration can be maintained. Besides that, the student leaders who risk all their resources and their lives during the campaigns always have a reason to smile when they get to power. First, they make sure that all the wealth they used for campaigns are reacquired. This is done by making proposals for projects which never take place eventually. A security director proposes for a security awareness project of 300 k but uses only 50 k and pockets the rest. In some University since time immemorial, the secretary generals have always used the Students Org

EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY ; A MANQUÉ COOPERATION Regional cooperation is vital for any country’s social, economic and political development. It accelerates economic progress and cultural development and provides all the individuals with the opportunity to live in dignity and to realize their full potential. Having an inter territorial cooperation between Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika protectorates was always a dream of the British as early as 1917. It kicked off by formation of the East African High Commission (EAHC) which later evolved into East African Common Services Organization (EACSO). The organization was concerned with the provision of common services such as customs union, currency, postal services, communication, research and Education. In 1967 after the attainment of independence of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, the East African community was formed to continue with the roles of EACSO. At this time, an East African Federation was also anticipated. The main aim of the EAC was to wi
