To the first years joining Moi University; don't go through this

On 5th September, immediately you land in Eldoret town, touts will run scrambling for your luggage. Once they load on the bus’s carrier, they will demand their due. ..100/, then you will pay the conductor 100/= for that luggage. Once in the bus, you will of course pay your fare to Moi University main campus.

Once in Moi, the well calculated exploitation begins. Hungry "seasoned” students, the vultures, the marabou stoke will descend on you, grab your bag, write a fake receipt and give it to you. They will tell you to go finish your registration as they take charge of your luggage under their tent. Ksh 500 will be milked out of your pocket.
