Education is such a rocky road for one to walk, make it to the final destination only to find their name missing on the graduation list: it’s quite disheartening. The guild offices were under siege this morning as the disgruntled students whose names are missing on the graduation list sought for an intervention from the guild cabinet led by president Roy Ssemboga.
This is the prevailing status-quo at MAK as over 400 to-be-graduands have completed all the formalities required of them but their names are nowhere to be traced on the recently released graduation lists.
Stanley Okecho, the guild prime minister addressing journalists today said that they are staging a peaceful strike tomorrow [Friday] morning to pressurize the administrators so that they can include the names of the 400 students whose names are missing in the graduation list.
“We have been on normal progress, paid the graduation fees, walked miles around campus to clear in all offices and have also bought the mighty branded graduation gown. Why are we not on the list?” queried one of the students.
“Can you imagine the university registrar tells me that he doesn’t know how he skipped my name among the many from the school of statistics and planning and he is telling to wait for 2018 as if it’s my mistake?” Ronald Amanyike wondered.
Most of the affected students are from the college of humanities and social science, school of statistics and planning, school of education and college of agriculture and environmental sciences
These students seem not to have forgotten the MAK way of solving grievances after failure of the diplomatic approach. They thus decided to come together and engage the student leaders to get to the bottom of this matter before it’s too late. The graduation ceremony runs from Feb 21-24th.
