| Comrades who attended the Saturday Event at the Chuka Uni pavilion |
Only approximated 200 Chuka University comrades showed up
for Kenrazzy show which was organized by Chuka University Students Association
(CUSA) held at the Varsity pavilion on Saturday.
Lilian Chepngetich – Organizing Sec CUSA – attributed the
poor performance to a security scare caused in the institution following the
circulation of security alert messages among the comrades themselves. 147 innocent comrades at Garrissa University
were killed by Alshaab terrorists the same week resulting to tension among the University students community.
“There were messages going around telling comrades to be extra
vigilant, Kenrazzy called to inquire if it was safe to have the show go on” she
said.
Kenrazzy had requested to be paid Ksh 90,000 but CUSA
negotiated for a better deal. CUSA Org secretary said he was paid less that Ksh
70,000.
“All I can say is the artist was paid less than 70,000. I cannot
name the exact amount” she said. CUSA Org secretary then directed us to the
Union treasurer Mr. Alex Omanga who was reluctant to reveal the exact amount
paid to the artist citing bureaucracy reasons.
“I will not give exact amount given to Kenrazzy. Any students
can access the information on CUSA
expenditure as long as it approved by the Vice Chancellor through the Dean of student’s
office.”

According to him CUSA expenditure can only be made known to
the public after the aforementioned procedure because the information can be
used against the union and for his own security reasons.
" The procedure has to be followed if a student wants to know the expenditure of CUSA for my own safety. if anything happens we know the student is responsible for giving out the information" he added.
