A showdown looms after Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha rejected reforms introduced by the University of Nairobi (UoN) which saw the institution scrap some senior positions and abolish six colleges.
Yesterday, Ministry of Education told universities not to implement the proposed structural and administrative changes, terming them illegal amendments to the university’s charter, contrary to provisions of the Universities Act, 2012.
Eight days after the UoN Council announced changes, Prof Magoha directed that all action on the proposals be kept in abeyance, pending relevant approvals and gazettement of the relevant instruments.
