Learning at Kisumu National Polytechnic has been paralyzed as students riot for the second time in a week over school fees hike.
The rowdy students have stormed out of the institution barricading roads nearby, affecting transport.
A student, who gave only one name John, says they are against hiking of fees when the economic situation is climbing higher.
John says the administration has declined to meet them to listen to their grievances while accusing their representatives of siding with the management.
“Our principal has refused to listen to us, yet she expects us to listen to her,” he said.
The students noted that a number of changes have been made in the institution without their involvement, sparking the protest.
At the dining hall, the institution, according to the students, charges have been raised, making some of them miss lunch since they can’t afford it.
“There is no way comrades will pay Sh. 30 for one chapati and Sh. 15 for one cup of tea, that is impossible,” said John.
The students are demanding that the institution revert to the old prices when one chapati was fetching Sh. 20 and a cup of tea Sh. 10.
