Standoff as Sifuna locked out of JKUAT Karen campus
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna condemns incident at JKUAT Karen campus after he was denied entry; he was scheduled to address student leaders on governance and law.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has expressed outrage over the sudden cancellation of a student forum and his subsequent denial of entry to Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Karen Campus. Sifuna, who had been invited by student leadership to attend the inaugural Law, Policy and Governance Forum, claims he was abruptly removed from the event and barred from the premises.
In a statement shared on his social media page, Sifuna remarked that the university administration could not comprehend why he chose not to attend a rally. He pointed out that he has a reputation for hosting lively gatherings, with DJ Spider being one of his guests. Sifuna jestingly suggested that discussions could have occurred on a variety of topics, including the weather or lunch preferences.
The JKUAT Karen Campus is home to the university's School of Law, which provides legal education and training. The institution has a history of organizing legal and academic forums.
