Media equipment acquired

The chuka university Communication and media department has acquired media equipment  worthy 7.2 million.The long awaited equipment was delivered to the institution yesterday morning.  According to H.N  Nabea the equipment was supposed to arrive last year but because of a technical hitch they were delayed . Mr Nabea had to call off his lecture to go and receive the equipment. The action has been hailed as a big step towards  helping Kenya achieve vision 2030.

The students who had expressed their fears of being half baked can put a smile . But even with that the students fear that the bureaucracy in the institution will delay setting up of the equipment. Students had indicated that they had been faced with problems during internship as they had only been exposed to  theory and not the practical aspect of the course.

Claims of electoral crimes ahead of CUSA polls

Claims of voter bribery and tribalism have emerged ahead of the CUSA elections scheduled for 10 ^th  February.  Supporters of a particular candidate vying for the post of the chairperson are alleged to be going around recruiting vocal members in order to help them convince "people from their community ".

A member of Mr Omulloh Augo's campaign team whom we can not  identify for now, narrated to us how supporters had approached him from a rival group. He claimed that he was offered 300 ksh and asked to mobilize members of his community, which he declined.

Many aspirants are still at the planning stage although Mr Augo and Mr Kirimi have declared their candidacy for the chairperson seat. Another contestant who has been mentioned but which www.chikeo.blogspot.com is yet to confirm is Peter.

Social media has been embraced by some of the contestants with Mr Kirimi's chief campaigner Mr. Aggrey Buchunju being the first to announce Mr kirimi's candidacy. Supporters of  Augo have reacted to different posts on the official CUC Facebook group portraying him as rebellious.
