Kyambogo University students living in halls are at it again and are crying out loud to the administration to come to their rescue after a week-long outage of water supply. Halls; Nanziri, Kulubya and Mandela have reportedly not had water for a week and the students are getting fed up on the situation in halls.
Students residing in halls have not had water for a week now and some have resorted to going back home to have a proper bath once in a while. The hygiene has been compromised and for one to use a toilet, they have to move as far as the main building to utilize the staff toilets as theirs are in a mess.
“For me to have a proper bath, I now have to go to a friend’s hostel out of campus,” Apio a hall resident lamented.
Girls are showing up with a rather uncomfortable stench and some that stay nearby have resorted to commuting to avoid embarrassment. Those that stay very far have restored to dodging lectures to avoid being uncomfortable.
“We have not had water for a week and the administration seems unbothered,” a resident of Nanziri told this website.
Speaking to campus Bee on phone, Kyambogo University Dean of Students Mrs Tibananuka Mildred highlighted the issue as mild and went on to note that it was a one day mishap.
“There was a mild problem with the water pump in some sections of the halls that caused the water outage however, a new pump has been installed and the problem has been rectified. The students should be having water back on very soon”, noted the Dean of students
It’s not new that there has been a water problem at Kyambogo University, however, the administration continues to assure students that major upgrades are being done at the university to replace the old systems with new systems but this shall take time.
