There is need to stem tide of wanton killings across our universities

The macabre killing of sixth year Moi University medical student Ivy Wangechi has brought to fore the biggest challenge in campus and to young people; love matters. But this horrific death is part of a pattern of deaths in campus—not new but seems to constantly be taking new forms.

These killings make us believe there is no escaping this dangerous and suicidal climate that campus students have to put up with every day. Can we please talk about it? What happens in the dark always comes to light, and dark issues on campus are no different. These issues must be addressed because if universities cannot help crack down on such incidents, this behavior will only proliferate. And that’s the road already.
