Egerton University students Monday morning engaged police in running battles as they protested damage fee imposed on seven of their student leaders.
The 16,862 shillings fine was imposed on the seven by the University’s Senate after they were accused of inciting students to strike on December 4, 2019.
Following the unrest, the institution was shut down and students sent home.
The seven student leaders have further been suspended indefinitely and barred from sitting for the end of semester exams scheduled to start within the month.

The University’s vice-chancellor, Prof. Rose Mwonya said the student leaders will be kept away from the campuses until such a time when the senate will lift the ban.
