Few days ago uncomfortable news regarding Maseno University's backstreet emerged sending mixed reactions among the student body.
Investigations by Hashtag revealed that the drug menace at Maseno University precincts is real with students abusing banned substances openly, even in their hostels, without fear; a trend that had seen a sharp increase in indiscipline cases coupled with deadly attacks and fights among its students.
