The demonstration that was led by Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago and his Elgeyo Marakwet counterpart Alex Tolgos against the appointment of Prof Laban Ayiro as Moi University chancellor was uncalled for.
In fact the two should have been arrested the same day.
However, Kenya being Kenya, the two are still walking free despite having been summoned to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to record statements.
The act by the two governors was barbaric and should never be entertained in modern Kenya.
What is even disturbing is the fact that after the demonstration, the country's top leadership remained silent over the matter.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy ought to have reigned on the two governors and the MPs since they are allied to Jubilee.
A public university is not a village polytechnic where locals are supposed to lead.
Uasin Gishu county has a history of ethnic clashes and hence if peace is to prevail in the county, governor Mandago must be tamed.
The National Cohesion and Integration Commission's silence over the matter clearly confirms that we still have a long way to go in taming tribalism.
