Free condoms in campus should be stopped just like the nyayo milk

Walking into any hostel on a Friday evening you come across an overflowing condom dispenser, famously known as the ATM. By Sunday morning, the dispenser is empty and begging for a re-fill. It is such a moment that a student director in charge of Health/Welfare cannot dare pass through a crowd of campus hoodlums, “We need condoms” is the song! Or rather, “Hizi CD za gava umetuletea zinapasuka haraka na pia hazina utamu.” That is alarming already, I’ll tell you why.

When I joined campus, a green village boy who knew nothing better than what the village could offer, some damning statistics were published. 70% of the ladies were infected. So in my naïve mind, every moment I walked along the academic highway I could loosely count 10 ladies and imagine 7 of them as sick (the idea of 7/10 infected was that scary)!
