February 20, 2015 (SSB) — Hundreds of universities/colleges students in Nakuru’s rift valley, gathered at city mission to select new leadership for the new term. The well and competitive arranged election was witnessed by Rev. Alier, the chairman for Eldoret’s students union Mr. Kuot Akech as well as the regional leaders from various communities in Nakuru.
The new elected chairperson Mr. Panom Kuol congratulated the students for their support to his bid and pledged to work for the unity for all irrespective of their ethnicity or rather where they came from. He said we are neither who we called ourselves (tribes) but students from south Sudan as a Nation.
The election which delayed amidst the current unrest of the ongoing war/conflicts back home, and which resulted to so many students being affected both financially or the other way round was a forum to remind one another on the issue of peace and brotherhood/sisterhood being the most elite citizens of the new nation.
One of the young orators whom the secretary of the election named the novelist and who later became the union’s secretary Mr. Tito Awen Bol, was able to remind the students to work extra harder for the benefit of their country. He was able to quote the former US president John F. Kennedy who once said, “Ask not what your country will do for you but also what you will do for your country”.
Mr. Anyar Deng who was the secretary for the election was not also left behind in nurturing in what best a wise saying meant for that kind of a function. He encourages the young leaders to be at the front always in quote to the former South Africa’s president Nelson Mandela who said he used to be at the back seated in time of happiness but was quick to take the front when it comes to fighting for the freedom of his people.
In conjunction to the entire south Sudanese students in Kenya, the angry students blamed the government of south Sudan for having ignored them and being able to eye on particular angles of helps.
They claimed the grant assistance which the government used to give to individual unions of the given countries e.g. Kenya and Uganda had been kind of the flowing one barrel of oil flowing to Khartoum.
This is to say that the grant assistance which was being received equally by the students in the Diaspora has been channeled to the benefits of few in the name of being affected by the war. “This is being a clear discrimination by the government because each an every one of us here is affected in one way or the other by that war”. One of the students uttered.
The function ended at 5pm with the messages of congratulations and kudos to those who won by the former chair marking the adjournment with the word of God by the pastor.
