More than 150 students and staff of Strathmore University are admitted to various hospitals in Nairobi after massive food poisoning that occurred at the institution last Friday.

All the affected are fourth year students who had attended the university’s seniors dinner, according to a memo sent out by the university.

“This is to let you know of the regrettable incident of food poisoning that occurred last Friday 20th March, to our 4th year students, and staff members who attended the Seniors Dinner,” read the memo, dispatched by Betty Ngala, the university relations.

“The University is fully aware of this matter, and has taken charge to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.”

KIDNEY FAILURE

Sources say some students are admitted in high dependency units suffering from severe dehydration.
