A Kenyan university student recently shared a personal story online alleging misconduct by a university lecturer, sparking widespread discussion about abuse of power in higher education. The student claims that a lecturer exploited his position, leading to serious personal consequences, including contracting HIV.
According to the student’s account shared on social media, the lecturer allegedly offered academic favors in exchange for inappropriate conduct. She revealed that the experience drastically affected her life, resulting in health complications and emotional trauma. Attempts to contact the lecturer afterward reportedly failed.
The story has ignited debates online about student safety, consent, and accountability in educational institutions. Advocates are calling for universities to strengthen policies against sexual harassment and exploitation, ensuring students can report incidents safely and receive support.
Medical and legal experts emphasize the importance of HIV testing, counseling, and access to treatment for anyone affected by such situations.
The university has not publicly commented on the matter, but the case highlights the ongoing need to protect students and hold those in positions of power accountable.
