Kisumu National Polytechnic Closed Indefinitely
Following days of unrest, demonstrations, and class boycotts by trainees since Monday, Sept. 15, the Kisumu National Polytechnic has been shut down indefinitely as of Friday, Sept. 19.
The Interim Council cites “inconvenient circumstances” and urges students to stay away from campus until further notice. The protests were reportedly sparked by grievances over fee hikes, culminating in clashes with police involving teargas, stones—and allegedly, live bullets.
Affected students, parents, and guardians are assured that investigations are underway to restore calm and address concerns.
Let’s advocate for peaceful dialogue, accountability, and the dignity of every learner.
