VARSITY POLITICS

SONU elections is one of the most contested and competitive student organization elections in the history of public universities in Kenya.This is justified by the fact that every student of the university is automatically a member of the union.With over 10,000 comrades,the power and influence of this union cannot be underestimated.The aspirants know this well enough and this being an electioneering month, most of them began as early as last year to throw their hats into the ring.Campus is a beehive of political activity as the aspirants sell their policies to liquor-hungry comrades.The aspirants are acquainted to this fact since one of the major requirements of ‘eating into a comrade’s busy schedule’ is either buying him liquor or giving him supper(they call it listening allowance).These aspirants are also confronted with the task of bribing goons to let them speak since these are people who care about nothing and anything.Most of them are drug addicts who smoke like a train,drink life a fish,don’t care about classes(the lecturers are terrified of them anyway) and are always intoxicated.For us hustlers and Steve Jobs wannabes,this is the most appropriate time to get free meals from this people since the next time they will be seen in campus by the average student is the next electioneering period when they will need us again.

P.S:I am urging students to think critically and analyze these ‘Vultures’ before casting their votes since the decisions they make now will inevitably affect their futures.Let us not be bought by cheap liquor-surely we are worth more than that.
