Karumo Technical Training Institute has been closed temporarily following infighting and protests by students.
The trainees’ demos significantly disrupted operations and posed potential safety risks.
This comes a day after Tharaka TTI was closed indefinitely due to students protests.
In a circular dated October 17, 2024, Principal Flora Njura Kanyua informed trainees and staff that the decision was made after consultations with relevant authorities.
The management directed all trainees to vacate the premises by 2:30 PM on Thursday.
Sources disclosed that a simple fight between a National Youth Service (NYS) student against his colleague escalated to protests.
It led to groupings among students and incitement as each wanted to overpower the other.
