By ELGAR MACHUKAMore by this AuthorBy HENRY NYARORAMore by this AuthorKisii University has suspended 40 students for engaging in protests that led to closure of the institution two weeks ago. In suspension letters sent to the students, they have been asked to wait for a future date to face a disciplinary committee. "The Kisii university senate during its sitting on October 27, has resolved to suspend you with immediate effect pending disciplinary action," said the letter. At the same time, local leaders have expressed outrage over the closure of the institution’s Nyamira Campus by the Commission of University Education (CUE). His sentiments were supported by former MP Omingo Magara and Nyamira County Assembly MCA Thaddeus Nyabaro who asked Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i to intervene.
