THE POWER OF COMRADESHIP.

They moved like a flowing river, each chanting and shouting as loud as possible as if trying to chase some demons. As the trek to the Administration block from the Students Center continued, the crowd grew bigger and bigger. "We want VC, we want VC,"went on the furious crowd.

The Monday morning demonstration marked 'day 2' of the demonstration from the Moi University Students' body. This happened after the lifeless body of a young 3rd year lady named Charity Maina was found dumped in a thicket and word had it that she was raped and murdered the night before Sunday.

The trek ended at the front of Administration block, with students eagerly waiting for the Vice Chancellor to adress them. Other leaders tried to adress the students but their words fell on deaf ears, for the students wanted no other person  than the VC, Pof. Mibey to adress them. Failure of the VC to adress them sent them into an unruly state and woe unto the stage business persons for their businesses were in for a destruction. The students then rushed over to stage, where they tried to destroy some business stalls and shops there resulting in a stone throwing exchange between the business persons and the students' body. It was after a couple of hours that everything settled back to normal.

It is not a surprise that we almost starved, since all shops and stalls were closed as the demonstration took place. The administrators had all locked their offices for fear of being attacked, the library was closed and no lecturer dared go for a lecture. How then can the power of comradeship not be noticed?
