Campus millionaire: I received Sh250,000 from President Uhuru Covid package

We have heard stories of freshers who join university to pursue ambioguous courses which they have no interest in.  Others pursue courses which are later branded ‘redundant’ or ‘unmarketable’.

This was the case for Eastmond Mwenda, who enrolled in Moi University in 2016 to pursue a course in Arts. No further guidance was provided to the first year, who was expected to choose ‘anything’ from the wide array of units under the Arts programme. Worse still, Mwenda had never dreamt of pursuing an arts-related career, but having scored a B+, he had no other option but to pick what was on the table.
