Kisii University students now feel that the Electoral Commission for the 2017 Student Union elections in the institution is working the Matiang’i way. This is after the electoral body which is chaired by Mr Wilfred Konosi, Dean at the School of Law, shortlisted a few nominated candidates as opposed to students’ expectations. Other students claimed the electoral body had made attempts of denying comrades the right of democracy and fair representation. “All the cleared candidates will meet the electoral commission to sign the electoral code before beginning official campaigns,” read the memo. During the electioneering period, studies are likely to be affected due to the ongoing student campaigns.
