SUDDEN INCREASE OF TRANSPORT FARE
As much as we are aware of the scarcity of fuel, we frown at the sudden increase in price of transport fare by Korope Drivers. The increase which was made in the early hours of today was without prior consultation and notification to the Students' Union.
Going forward, we have scheduled an emergency meeting with the leadership of Drivers' union in order to fashion a way out of this menace.
We hereby urge our colleagues to remain calm and wait for final resolution.

UPDATE ON "CBT MENACE"
In the last 48 hours, the leadership of the Union have consistently interacted with the CBT centre management to inquire on the cause of disagreement that almost caused friction between our dear education students and an official of the CBT centre.
We expressed our dissatisfaction in the way our colleagues were treated and also posited that such should not reoccur anymore.
Our position is that respect is reciprocal as our dear students should be respected as much as our colleagues respect the officials.
Therefore, we urge our colleagues to conduct themselves in their best manner at the CBT centre as we hope that such occurrence does not surface again.
