Just passed by the old gate of Tumaini NYS camp along the new Ol-Kalou-Lanet road and i think i saw the ghost of that evil old man, Gen China (Waruhiu Itoote).
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

av heard lot of storoz about that place...why was it scrapped again? we should have been given a chance too...

It was never "scrapped"; it died away quietly when the first 8-4-4 lot finished form 4.

I never went there; I found a way around it.... long story.... but I know a guy who drunk two bottles of chili-sauce and did 50 push-ups then went to the nurse. She diagnosed elevated temperature, high blood pressure and high heart rate. They guy was "acquitted" on health grounds and allowed to go home immediately.

He thinks he managed to cheat the system; but I think they were afraid of what he might do next... perhaps the acquittal was on psychological considerations - the guy deemed suicidal.

ha ha ha i believe that's you @mukiha

sorry wazuas i am back...here we go...

....for those of us who were at the main gate, we already had an edge that never was as we had already captured three enemies...the prison/cells guards...they could not offer even the smallest level of information as they had no prior knowledge of what was happening...the main gate was securely locked and the guards did not have the keys except for the cells..the high fence was a sure containment measure. There was no way therefore one could leave the camp through the gate or over the fence...

elsewhere (on the extreme eastern and western side of the camp), the only other outlets from the camp were staff houses for the non-uniformed staff...these areas were a no go zone as they were heavily guarded by the enemy as they were the custodians...

on the north western side of the camp was KA, ammunition grounds...this was a fertile ground for one to have his or her head blown off first without a second thought, so nobody would risk...it would be less riskier dealing with the regulars and ncios than dealing with the mad army personnel near or around the ammunition battalion...

the north eastern side of the camp was a much bigger pass but required no heavy guarding...why? this was the playfield for the anti-stock theft unit squads and presented a very risky ground...

the combat soldiers from both sides knew these facts far too well, and as such we either fought to death or made peace...we chose the former...

A strategy had to be formulated very first as we did not know what the enemy at the sewage treatment pods were doing and where they would attack first... at the gate there was about 250 pre-uni. Colleagues singing the war cries and showing how brave we were...

a couple of them were dispatched to go and warn the other colleagues who were in the barracks at the time and instruct them either to join the combatants or get out of those barracks and run for their safety....a couple of them decided to join the combatants, but chose the areas near the drill grounds as their main operation base...

that accomplished, another bunch of guys were dispatched to go to the ladies barracks with instructions to get them out and have them go to the fenceline facing the ammunition grounds...this was safer for them than anywhere else in the camp...

This last action or command came a little too late for when we started advancing towards the drill ground to join our other colleagues for full combat, and just before the messengers to the ladies barracks disappeared into nearby thickets around a bushy path near the cells, that is when it happened....


...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

@kaigangio, keep on going...but people be warned, the worst part is yet to come...i don't think i can ever forgive those nys/antistock guys for what they did.Every time i think about it,i get nightmares.

When i hear pple constantly complain about Kibaki,i get the feeling that they don't know how far we have come from the Moi "error". The actions taken on that fateful day changed the lives of hundreds of very innocent university students for ever..and as usual, it was all hushed up like nothing happened, the greatest violation of human rights abuses ever visited on us.

@Kaigangio, please continue..
