Synopsis
The book Great and Wrecked is a two way meaning. The book speaks of a certain University in the contemporary society of Africa precisely East Africa which is known for being the best University in the country its output to the country is great. It has produced many researchers in the field of agriculture being an agricultural institution, graduates from this University are concidered far much better than from other Universities due to its greatness known country wide hence the title GREAT ironically the top leaders in the University have spearheaded corruption and hypocrisy taking advantage of the big revenue the University gets from the government for its greatness filling up their own stomachs this has made the University unable to move forward. Lecturers get pay cuts and sometimes go for months without payments whenever they strike there is always a stalemate which leads to failure of their struggle. The infrastructure is no longer good, way paths damaged, street lights no longer working, toilet and latrines bad drainage system. The University is WRECKED. It has a seventy million modern constructed gate that leads to a forty million incomplete modern library. THE GREAT AND WRECKED

Chapter 1 - The experience

Iam from my local village off to the campus am glad that am going to experience every good things people have been telling me about the University. First of all I want to tell you this is a real story and as Iam writing this am in the duvet in my hostel in the institution it has purpose me to write this because I promised myself I would write whatever I will experience in the campus. Really? I did not make such a promise I came to see the good things people have been telling me about the University and that is why I worked hard to get an entry here but everything has changed. Yes! it has changed the way I entered here is not the way Iam now am not the same person. "In the University there is everything the happiness there is great" they told me while I was in the village but now I feel like am in hell there is no happiness here. The University is full of fake love,fake friendships and fake everything am I the only one perceiving this? perhaps No! everyone got this. One day I was in the class and the Lecturer told us "This University is bad. If you can strike please do and save this University it is a hell the management is bad" I breathed a new air and noticed everything that has to do with our problems in this University was because of the bad management and leadership of the institution but what should we do who will believe things are bad in this University it has a great name outside there this University is Great but the greatness of the University is viewed as a mere mirage amongst the students and workers of the institution. After that statement of the Lecturer it incited many students and the next day students were everywhere in the street rioting demanding for their rights heavy imposition of school fees and tight schedule to pay it quickly leaving the students with nothing in the pockets, going for days without food is also a syllabus we are all wrecked clinging for support where there is none,What came after the rioting we were issued with suspension letters plus a damage fee of seventeen thousand shillings but surprisingly none of the ruins have been renovated since then. The money was eaten. Yes it was eaten and that is what it is happening inside here top leaders rolling with expensive cars which is not equivalent t their salaries they are eating our money.
