A group of students who were dismissed from the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS) have written to President Lazarus Chakwera, seeking his intervention in their case.
The students, 36 in number, claim they were unfairly treated and are seeking justice.
According to the students’ president, Only Mopiha, and general secretary, Mathews Alfred, the dismissals were a result of “systematic academic withdrawal of students and bullying by some faculty members.”
They allege that the university introduced new examination rules and regulations without informing them, leading to their failure to meet the required grades.
The students claim they have tried to petition parliament on the matter but have not received any response.
Meanwhile, Presidential Press Secretary Anthony Kasunda has asked for time to investigate the matter, while KUHeS registrar Christopher Namagowa says they are waiting for the appointment of a new college council to handle the issue.
A total of 76 students were withdrawn from the university between 2017 and 2022 for various academic reasons.
