Poly demand supply of condoms in dispensary

Campus Vibe

Comdoms in different flavours

Students at Eldoret Polytechnic claim they do not have enough condom dispensers in the college.

The students claim the ‘government condoms’ supplied once in a while are not enough. Some students told Campus Vibe that free condoms are supplied through the institution’s dispensary every week. But are never enough for all the 5,000 students.

“In the men’s washrooms for instance, we have two dispensers. I cannot remember the last time I saw even a single condom in the dispensers,” a student who identified himself as Jim, told Campus Vibe.

Dean of Students Rosabella Chukwu told Campus Vibe: “We have ordered for condom dispensers from the Ministry of Health several times, but in vain. We recently advertised a tender for the supply of dispensers which we expect in September.

Last semester alone we received 50,000 condoms. In May we received more than 27,000. But you have to wonder how much really is enough. Students should know they are here primarily to study.”

 Most surrounding shops charge between Sh20 and Sh50 a packet, which is higher than the recommended Sh10.
