Kisumu Polytechnic closed indefinitely after students' unrest

The Kisumu National Polytechnic has been closed indefinitely following a week-long student unrest.

In a notice issued Friday morning, Chief Principal Catherine Kelonye directed all students to vacate the institution’s premises until further notice.

She said the decision was reached after the school’s Council convened to address five consecutive days of disruptions.

According to Kelonye, students have been on a rampage since Monday, boycotting classes and staging demonstrations.

She added that the student association has raised several allegations against the management, including claims of corruption and increased fees.

Kelonye assured that the concerns would be thoroughly investigated and addressed to restore normalcy at the institution.
