This comes days after another students died after sitting his Chemistry Practical exams. Victor Kiptoo, a student at Barina Mixed Day and Boarding Secondary School died days after the Chemistry Practical exam that was done on Friday November 8, 2019.

The history of Koitaleel Samoei University College dates back to 2012/2014 when the idea to have a University situated in Nandi County named after the legendary leader Koitaleel Samoei was mooted.
A steering committee was constituted and a series of consultative meetings and workshops were held between the County Government of Nandi, the University of Nairobi, and the community to support the establishment of the University College in the County in line with the constitutional provisions.
The leaders from Nandi County requested His Excellency the fourth President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta to formally gazette the University College. On 12th June 2017, he graciously presided over with the then Deputy President Dr. William Samoei Ruto in the laying of the foundation stone at the proposed Main Campus at Nandi Hills.
The request was formalized by Legal Notice No. 117 of September 6, 2018, which established KSUC as a Constituent College of the University of Nairobi, and on 19th October 2018, the first University College Council was gazetted.
Named after the eponymous hero; Koitaleel Samoei
KSUC is named after the eponymous Nandi hero, Koitaleel Samoei who led an 11-year resistance against the railway construction by the British Colonialists. To end the resistance, a British Colonel, Richard Meinetzhagen, invited Koitaleel Samoei to negotiate a truce meeting after he led a rebellion against the colonial invasion of the Nandi.
However, it is reported that when Koitaleel Samoei stretched his hand with Meinertzhagen, he shot him dead at point-blank and his death ended the Nandi Resistance. Koitaleel has been immortalized as a national hero and a legendary leader in the Kalenjin Community and the society at large.
Location
The University College has established two Campuses in Nandi County; namely, Nandi Hills which is located 15 km from Kapsabet, and the Mosoriot Campus which is located along the busy Eldoret – Kapsabet highway approximately 27 km from Eldoret town and 23 km from Kapsabet town.
The highway is well-tarmacked for easy accessibility to the institution. The University College sits on a 50-acre piece of prime arable land that was formally occupied by Mosoriot Teachers Training College. The setting of the
University College in the area provides a serene environment making it conducive for scholarly and academic work geared towards strengthening intellectual exchange towards achieving its core mandate of teaching and learning.
The University College collaborates with the community that has a wealth of
renowned athletes in promoting its niche in Sports Science Management such as the legendary athlete Eliud Kipchoge among others.
The University College envisages being “The premier University of Sports Management Science” as it strives “To produce quality graduates through quality education, training, research and consultancy for social and economic development”.
KSUC neighbors Mosoriot Teachers Training College, the Kenya Medical Training College, and Mosoriot Market with whom KSUC collaborates closely in various engagements. The ecosystem in Nandi County is
favorable with sufficient rain throughout the year. The cool wet climate, complimented by the rich volcanic soils makes the region an ideal area for tea, maize, and dairy farming.

MOSORIOT TTC:Mosoriot TTC is a Public teacher training college located in Mosoriot town of Nandi county; within the Rift Valley Region of Kenya.
MOSORIOT TEACHERS COLLEGE HISTORY
Mosoriot Teachers College was established in 1959 at the current Kapsabet Girls High School Compound. The founder of Mosoriot Teachers College was Africa Inland Mission (AIM), currently Africa Inland Church (AIC). Mosoriot Teachers College was brought under the protestant education oversight, Christian Churches Education Association (CCEA) from 1964. CCEA policy was ecumenical regulation of education in sister institutions, provision and custody of assets of protestant owned schools and colleges.
The college was re-located to its current site in 1960. The site had been reserved for grass for cattle during dry spells for the community by the Senior Chief Joel Kiptenai Malel in 1959. He was the Senior Chief of Kosirai Location. He had transferred his office to the Current site that houses the Catholic Church, St. Francis Primary School, and, St. Francis Girls Secondary School – Cheptarit.
The college was named after the then colonial District Commissioner (DC) of the Nandi by the name Hunter. The Hunters Tree College emanates from the zeal and passion of the DC in planting blue gum trees in the current site on the College and hence the name ‘Kap-Hunters’.
The founder and Principal of Mosoriot Teachers’ College was called J. Rogers (1960-1961). The name of the college was changed from Hunters Tree College to Mosoriot Teachers College probably to Africanize and indigenize it.‘Mosoriot’ among the Nandi community is the name of the species of tree plant of the family of climbers that grows near river banks. The climber was used by the community in fixing the handles of the traditional hoes.
The College Board of Governors then allocated the land on which Malel Primary School was constructed. The Chief of Mutwot location at that time, Mr. David Kemboi, spearheaded the establishment of Malel Primary School together with the then Principal (Mr. Gilbert Oriya).Malel Mosoriot Teachers’ College Primary School was started in 1987 as Cheptarit East Primary School. The school was intended to serve the college staff since other good schools were far off in Eldoret.
The college sat on a 92-acre piece of land until 2013 when the process of establishing of a University Campus, Koitalel Samoei University College (KSUC) was mooted. The college is now sitting on 41 acres of land: 10 acres of Lagoon land where the college sewage plant stands; and 31 acres of land to accommodate students’ dormitories, staff houses, college gate, Tuition, and administration block, library, all fields/playgrounds, and Malel Mosoriot Teachers’ College Primary School.

Kisii County veteran politician James Kenani wants the government to increase funding to constituencies to help cater for the burgeoning population of needy students.
Speaking at Keumbu ward of Nyaribari Chache in Kisii County where he gave out personal cheques worth Sh100, 000 to 25 university students, Kenani said the current allocations to CDF were still insufficient to meet the bursary demands.
“I urge the government to re-look at the budgetary system in such a manner that they can provide specific funds, even up to Sh 600 million for purposes of sponsoring kids that have done well,” he advised.
He said the small support the learners received from politicians may not be enough and thus the need for the government to increase the allocations.
He noted that more could still be done to leverage the education system, enhance its efficiency and expand the scope of those who need the bursary aids.
The ODM politician who wants to be MP Nyaribari Chache in the upcoming polls said hundreds of young people across the constituency were still trapped in low paying menial jobs for lack of funds to advance studies.
The agonizing thing, he said, was to see some families organize fundraisers but ended up collecting far less than what they even used to plan for them.
Kenani said youths who were the backbone of the society needed to be supported for them to join institutions of higher learning.
Beneficiaries led by Damaris Barongo and Mageto Ogoro who are to join Moi University and Bomet University College respectively expressed their gratitude after receiving the cheques and vowed reciprocate by working hard in their courses.
