Students at the University of Eldoret, along with local residents, have been chasing away non-Kalenjin students from the campus.
According to reports, the students are protesting what they claim is the preferred allocation of university jobs to certain communities. A post on Robert Alai's Facebook page suggests that local politicians may be involved in the unrest.
One of the key demands made by the students is the removal of Professor Ruth Akenga as the Vice Chancellor of the University.
The situation has sparked concerns over tribalism, with some describing the incident as shameful.
