Over the weekend, a letter made rounds on social media sites alleging the introduction of caning of students at KCA University.
In the memo purported to have originated from the University administration, students would be subjected to the punishment from the May-August 2019 trimester.
"Students who fail to adhere to the rules and guidelines of the institution will be expected to report to the committee immediately where he will receive his punishment not less than 15 strokes.
"Please note that students who abscond from following this rule will be expelled from the university with immediate effect," the memo read in part.
