The name of Ann Mumbi Waiguru who succumbed to pressure and quit is not just about to disappear in the minds and lips of Kenyans any time soon.
At least more than 40 University of Nairobi students invoked the name of the former Devolution and Planning Cabinet Secretary in a restaurant in Nakuru Town and refused to pay their bill.
The students stormed Arafat Coast Dishes situated along Kenyatta Avenue on Friday at around 3.22pm and ordered for food.
However, after clearing their plates they started chanting “Waiguru must pay! Waiguru must pay! Waiguru must pay!” and started walking out.
The waiters at a popular eatery had a rough time demanding for the bill which amounted to Sh14,150 as the students stayed put and boarded their bus parked outside the restaurant.
A guard at the restaurant was overpowered by the students and wrestled him on the floor before scampering for his safety.
A waiter at the hotel, who was identified as Mr David Kiambi, who pursued one of the student was thoroughly beaten by the students and suffered body injuries.
The waiter’s whereabouts are still unknown as he was shoved out of the bus and vanished after the angry students threatened to lynch him if he continued demanding for money.
The hotel proprietor, Mr Feisal Saleh, said that the students were all male and were heading to Kisumu.
“When I saw them enter my hotel I was happy because I knew I will make a kill as there was no business on that day,” he said.
After causing mayhem at the restaurant, the students forced their way into a nearby supermarket and raided a wine and spirit shop and made away with unspecified number of bottles of wine.
They drunk outside the parking bay shouting obscenities as the shocked shoppers watched from a distance
They then smashed the empty bottles on the floor to scare away some of the security guards manning Automated Teller Machines near the mall who tried to intervene.
Mr Faisal said police officers arrived at the scene after 20 minutes but the students had already disappeared.
“We tried to chase them along the busy Nakuru – Eldoret Highway using a police land rover but we could not trace them,” said Mr Faisal.
A Registrar at the UoN promised to make a follow up after the incident was reported to his office by the hotel owner saying he knew all the occupants in the university bus.
“I have tried to call the Registrar since Friday but he is not answering my calls,” said a distraught Mr Faisal.
