Students of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) have marched in the streets of Nakuru protesting over alleged grabbing of the institution’s land by a private developer.
The students, who Tuesday marched from their college located near the Nakuru Level Five Hospital to the county government offices, said that they would lose the college land, which they use for practicals, if the developer is not stopped.
They said part of the field, which doubles as a playground, has already been fenced off and a structure is being erected.
Deputy Governor Erick Korir addressed the students, telling them that a meeting with county officials and KMTC officials will be held in a bid to resolve the issue.
The Nakuru County Health CEC Gichuki Kariuki told the Daily Nation that the land has not been grabbed and accused some people he did not name of inciting the students.
Dr Kariuki said that the 23-hectares piece of land that accommodates both the Nakuru hospital and the training college is under one title deed and so it is impossible that part of it could have been sold to anyone.
