While youths had decided to do something about corruption by refusing to keep quiet any longer, its a sad state that students of an institution have to go to the streets to stop sexual violence first.
The incident caused anger in the institution as hundreds of students took to the streets and closed down the Sigalagala, Bukura road complaining of insecurity rise in the region.
The visibly agitated students further revealed that most of them have previously been attacked and some left seriously injured.
Area OCPD Shari Komora, however, showed up at the scene and regained calm among the students.
Students of Bushiangala Training Institute in Ikolomani sub-county, Kakamega County, on Wednesday held protests over alleged sexual assault of two of their first year colleagues.
The two girls who were residing in hostels outside the university premises were reportedly attacked on Tuesday night by a gang of robbers before being assaulted.
Area OCPD Shari Komora, however, showed up at the scene and regained calm among the students.
Two male students were on Wednesday night arrested after allegedly forcing their way into a dormitory at Kyaani Girls Secondary School in Kitui.
The suspects, both aged 18 years, are Form Four students from Kauma Boys Secondary School.
According to Kyaani Secondary School Principal Elizabeth Musyimi, she was alerted at around 11.45 pm by the school guard who informed her of a commotion in the girls’ dormitory.
The suspects were said to have gained entry into the compound by cutting through a chain link fence and thereafter entering Upendo dormitory where all 47 Form Four candidates who are in school are housed
Yet awhile back Moi Girls’ school administration was on the spot following accusations of an attempt to cover up the rape of one student and sexual assault of two others at the school on a Saturday.
Multiple interviews with students, some school staff, parents, and survivors of the ordeal point to a well-orchestrated scheme by the school to conceal all evidence and details.
One of the survivors told a news agency the school’s administrators had promised to offer them scholarships if they remained silent on the matter.
Students said a man donning a pair of shorts and a hooded jacket stormed their dormitory at around 2 am and raped one of them before attacking two others with a similar motive.
Do you think the government has invested enough security to curb sexual violence in education facilities?
