Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary (CS) Hassan Joho has pledged to amicably resolve the grievances of the students at Bandari Maritime Academy.
His assurance comes after hundreds of students staged protests over alleged mismanagement at the institution disrupting learning activities unless their concerns were addressed.
Among their grievances included exorbitant fees, poor management, lack of sea time, and delays in issuing the Seafarer's Identification Document (SID) among others.
Speaking during the distribution of government relief food to needy families in Mombasa during the holy month of Ramadan, CS Joho emphasized that the government and its people should not be in opposition but rather work together.
