“We reported this to school management a month ago but they are doing nothing, we have been reminding them to fumigate our hostels but they are doing nothing,” said one student.

Kodi don’t you pay school fund for things like these? Kapena you will blame it on APM? We during our time in MCP autocratic rule, were paying school funds to deal with these issues.

Likuni Girls also had an outbreak of bed bugs last term.

What a menace!
