It has always been an issue waiting to explode. Though spoken in low tones, it is the belief of many that parallel or self sponsored students are academic light weights, only taking the best courses because of their money.
Parallel students end up paying over 6 times the amount paid by those who are allocated slots by the Joint Admissions Board.
Yesterday, there was a fierce exchange of words between Self Sponsored and Government Sponsored students from Kenyatta University, on the popular ‘Its only in KU’ Facebook page.
It started with the admin of the page publishing a post about 27 KU students who have been summoned by the university disciplinary council, for taking part in the riots following the discovery of unused election material, at the University’s main campus.
He wrote.
So apparently 27 K.U students have been summoned before the disciplinary committee following riots after the discovery of ballot materials at Business Centre in mid March…My question where is ABABU NAMWAMBA and MILLIE ODHIAMBO who hailed them as “gallant soldiers” of democracy? The COMRADES will suffer just because they fought somebody else’s war.
Your Thoughts??
One Nixon Nick, who is evidently a Government Sponsored student, introduced the elephant in the room by equating the rioting students to fools, who are clearly self sponsored (parallel).
Nixon Nick – if u think they were fighting someones war then u r the greatest fool in k.u,n u must b ssp (self sponsored)..kuskumwa kama mkokoteni aka academic reject.
All of a sudden, the issue at hand shifted from the ‘gallant soldiers’ of Ababu Namwamba, to the Self Sponsored – Government Sponsored debate.
His comment came at a good time, as Facebook has just introduced replies in comments, and this particular one attracted over 200.
Most of the replies were insults directed at Nick, and most are unfortunately unprintables, but you get the point. You don’t go telling people they’re academic rejects, even if you think they are.
Below are some of the reactions.
