Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) CEO prof Micheal Kiptoo (second right) with Tiaty Mp William Kamket (center) with other leaders join Kabarnet KMTC students in a dance during the Launch of Chemolingot KMTC Campus at Chemolingot town in Tiaty,Baringo. Only that they did not get close enough to talk about grades and graduations; the police unleashed tear gas and water cannons to keep the Med students at bay, although they were largely peaceful and calm. But since police are adept at turning street demos into combats, the Med students appeared ill-prepared. This was the sort of wisdom dispensed by the Saba Saba Day veterans, only last week when they appeared on TV to recall our tempestuous path to democracy. That day, July 7, 1990, now memorialised as Saba Saba Day, is considered an important signpost in our democratic evolution.
