BOTTLES, BROKEN GLASSES & NEGLECT:The Mess Behind Talai at Moi University Stage

-
If you've ever passed by the stage area near Talai building at Moi University, you've probably noticed it the growing mess hidden in plain sight. Behind Talai, what should be a clean and peaceful spot is slowly turning into a dumpsite.



Discarded plastic bottles, broken glass, used food containers, and all kinds of waste litter the area.It's not just untidy its dangerous. The broken glass scattered on the ground poses a real risk to students and pedestrians. And with the stage being a busy zone where many gather to catch transport or take a breather between classes, the presence of all this trash is both alarming and disappointing.

The question is: how did we get here?

The problem seems to stem from a mix of poor waste management and careless disposal habits. There aren't enough bins, and even where there are, many people still choose to toss their trash on the ground. Add to that the lack of regular cleaning, and the area continues to deteriorate.

Talai and the stage area are central points of Moi University life. They should reflect the pride and discipline of the institution. Instead, they now reflect neglect but it doesn't have to stay that way.

It's time for change. Whether it's by pushing for better waste disposal infrastructure, organizing student-led cleanup activities, or simply choosing to hold onto our trash until we find a bin every action matters.

Lets clean up behind Talai. For our health. For our safety.  the image of Moi University.

    This is such an important observation Purity. As students, we all have a role to play in keeping our campus clean and safe. It's sad to see such a central place being neglected, yet it represents the heart of student life. I support the call for change let’s push for better waste management and take personal responsibility. A clean Talai is a reflection of who we are as Moi University students.

Why Do People Come Back When You Finally Let Go?

Have you ever noticed something? The things you used to force… The people you used to beg for effort… The love you used to overextend yourself for… The moment you dist.ance yourself, suddenly they find their way back. Your Why? And why is it that in relationships, friendships, even family things are rarely 50/50? Why does one person always seem to give 100% while the other gives 40%? Let me cook. I have been observing this pattern, not just in my own life, but through my friends too. And I am sure you have seen it somewhere around you. There was a friend of mine in a three-year relationship. From the outside, it looked normal. But as we all know, no relationship moves smoothly behind closed doors. There are always ups and downs. At the beginning, the energy was equal. Both were trying. Both were intentional. But as time went by, she became emotionally attached, almost obsessed. And when obsession enters, balance leaves. She started giving more, more patience, more understan...

GAME CHANGER

By Purity Jelagat  Every day I forget to buy myself a rubber and a sharpener. I already have a pencil, but obviously, it becomes blunt after some time. Each day when I use it, I realize I need a rubber to keep my work neat because anyone can make mistakes and need something to arase them. When I get home, I always feel too lazy to go out again, even though a shop is only a few meters away. One day I told myself that it was enough, I should stop waiting  until "I have time" I decided that I would go out and finally buy the sharpener and rubber. That simple moment taught me something valuable, if there is something you haven't tackled for a while, dive into it don't wait to get inspired to do it, and you will find the inspiration after doing the work.
