00:00We are asking Dr. Samuel Ruto not to allow Moi to die, not to allow Moi University to die

00:22because as we are going, Moi is going to die.

00:25So we are asking you to come and help us.

00:28Because we are crying day and night.

00:31I said at that time, we haven't paid our loans for 7 years.

00:34Cash loans we haven't paid for almost 8 months.

00:37Pension, people are retiring.

00:39Someone is going to get blood pressure.

00:41He was expecting 4 million.

00:42He is getting 1 million.

00:43He is getting pressure.

00:44You can see all the workers here.

00:46If you tell them to take medicine, we will build a pharmacy here.

00:49So I am trying to say something.

00:51Some people came and asked for food.

00:54There are many of us.

00:56There is our Senator Mandago.

00:58All of them came to ask for food.

01:02Everyone said, let's cry, we know the problems of Moi.

01:05But now it has come to a point where they are looking at Moi very far.

01:08Moi is still good.

01:10That is not fair.

01:12Next time you come to ask for food, what will you send?

01:14Because last time you said, we know the problems and we are coming to help.

01:18You should stay with the President.

01:20You should come to Eldoret.

01:22You should come to Moi University.

01:24You should know where the problems are.

01:26Not every time we will be in the media,

01:28not every time we will be in the streets.

01:30We don't want children to go to school.

01:32But we can't go to the school if someone's child is studying and they are not at home.

01:36It's very unfair.

01:38Our salaries are in trouble.

01:40All our salaries are in trouble.

01:42As my husband said, our council doesn't understand us.

01:44It has come to a point where they don't understand us at all.

01:46We want them to come and explain to us and give us our money.

01:49Other universities have paid their salaries.

01:51They have paid their salaries.

01:53So who are we?

01:55Moi University has a problem.

01:57If we don't solve it, there is no place for us to go.

02:00We will continue like this until the end.
