An open letter to prof Kosgei

Mr. Prof, first i would like to congratulate you for your newly acquired status. Its never easy getting to the helm of any large institution, and Moi university was no exception. Work has to continue, prof Laban did much as the acting VC and that's why most of us feel that he was short changed but lets hope you will fill in his shoes.

Firstly, the ongoing gate construction has been long over due, Hope this will be your number one agenda in making Moi University great again. As much as we appreciate Prof. Laban's effort to uplift the facial outlook of the university, this has been going at a snail's pace and with the rains now here, the institution can be easily passed for a construction site.

Comrades also have on their wish list the renovations of lecture halls, some have been reduced to structures with ancient roofings. A quick good example is the lecture theatres 1, 2 and 3. Not only are the seats in a poor condition but also the blackboards windows and even the doors. It is sad, I know you feel me.

Thirdly, this is a humble request from me. It is high time some rules are reviewed, they tend to limit on the potential of comrades. One is the ten to ten rule, which states that members of the opposite sex are barred from those hostels immediately the clock hits ten in the night and are only allowed back ten in the morning. With this cold Mr. Prof, this rule makes it hard for a comrade  to get warmth as it is written in the book of Ecclesiastics. How can a comrade keep warm by himself?

The missing marks craze is another issue that should be addressed soon if not now. Imagine attending classes for four months, with this unbearable weather conditions in this side of the Rift, doing all the CATS and even being present for the main exams only for a lecturer who came to class thrice and left a library of handouts to misplace your script and shamelessly award you incomplete marks. It is not only bad in the eyes of man but also in those of the Supreme Deity.

The hostels should be renovated as fast as possible, if the varsity still has hopes of raking some thousands in the accommodation department. The lavatories should be modernised, water supply should not be rationed for God's sake! We have a river passing in the institution, we also have a water recycling plant. So why should the water supply be controlled? The electricity supplied should be compatible with the coil system. Oh hail the coil.

Cooking in hostels should be encouraged, eating fresh farm produce that has embraced coil temperature has been proven to make comrades perform better in class and under the sheets.

I know you have heard the term micro comrades. These micro organisms have proved to deny comrades the joy of their accommodation fees. Imagine a comrade busy oscillating his chebukati in a newly discovered ballot box then boom! Bites from a blood thirsty arachnid that can only afford two body parts cuts the journey to Canaan.

Mr. Prof, trust me, if you put what I have stated in mind then you will be a darling to the comrades. But before my ink dries, do not forget to bring world class events at the varsity. I repeat world class events!

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway

Please Get Tired.

I write, You notice, You assume, I get disconnected And curse. " It's hard to show love to a stone" of no worth it is  making love to a marble, Shinny and elegant, Only adapting to the degree of my loving when in the same room And nothing is the same when we hug and part ways. I write You marvel Share it to friends And say "That was master class" You find it hard to read between the lines. Not born for the art, so you wont relate Our connection is relative, Like an uncle to a niece It's hi when we meet and high time when we don't. I notice You care less I get disconnected I miss her But who listens? I refuse to build a foundation on a forced connection I don't want to end up losing myself when you finally slip away like she did. Please get tired, and let me try to win her love back. I write Get tired And hope That if tomorrow ever comes with the darkness it left with, Then I would sit and wait for her to come aroun

If Yesterday was Tomorrow.

And, if yesterday was tomorrow, What would you have done differently? Would you write that which the mouth was even afraid to whisper? Be a little bit poetic and feed the world with feelings, Just like any other slave of the pen? If yesterday was tomorrow_ Would you let the sun set with your heart still hurting? Would you  still call men dogs Just because a few like bones like you do? If yesterday was tomorrow, Would you talk of how it never comes And sing, hoping that You finally became a star? Would you share the last piece saved on your diary? Or, you would just have written another piece to entertain the skeletons in your closet, those that really never come out? If yesterday was to come after today would you still be talking of a having gruelling day and still seat and swipe your gadgets all night long lost in the virtual world? If yesterday was the day after today, Would you still claim to ride with your friends, Would you still talk of them the same way? For m
