It is said that the students are from Karatina University, although it was not clear when the incident happened.
What happened during the attack on Karatina University students?
It is reported that they ate food worth KSh 110 but were only able to pay KSh 90.
The angry hotel staff allegedly attacked them with blows and insults.
“Am I working here for you? Why are you playing with people’s business? Tell these people how much you ate and what you paid. You think we are fools. Are we going to keep playing with you?” one of the attendants shouted while clapping the students.
The attack happened in front of other customers who were eating. Several onlookers had also gathered outside the hotel to witness what was happening.
The incident has sparked outrage, with many Kenyans condemning the attack and others offering to pay for the students’ meals.
Did the Kenyans scold the hotel attendant Karatina?
Patrick Gitonga
“They should give us a container to cover their expenses and the next meal. Our children are suffering a lot in these streets.”
Gitonga Githinji
“People have conditions… You can call someone to turn off…. you and your poverty will find yourself with a case of murder.”
Lenny Tosh
“If the money hasn’t arrived, explain to yourself first and if he refuses, it’s okay. In case he eats and lacks money, don’t hit him, take right measures until you get enough, you’ll know, you don’t know. Then ask me, no one would pay these comrades that KSh 20 bob walai?”
Joshua Juma Nyongesa
“Some of these students are just rich in brains, not money. If you put a hotel near them, expect that. Just be their father, be their mother.”
Mithamo AK
“When the economy weakens, people turn to each other like animals. May those victims succeed in life.”
Kares GK Geff
“But at least they have paid more than 3/4. Some people are rude; if only they knew the hard life of a Kenyan university student, especially from a poor background.”
John P Mutisya
“I condemn the action taken. That’s how you start to take someone to the hospital and sell them until the clothes you’re wearing. The day a mosquito lands on your testicles, you’ll realize that violence is not the only way to solve problems.”
