Education CS George Magoha has frozen proposed changes at the University of Nairobi pending approval by the ministry and gazettement. The changes by the university council last week touched on reorganisation of the administrative structure, including abolishing 24 colleges, from 35 to 11. The directive does not only affect changes proposed at UoN but any other institution hoping to effect administrative and governance changes. “Where proposed reviews necessitate amendments to Charter or Legal Notices the proposed amendments must be forwarded to the Ministry through the Commission for University Education before being gazetted by the CS,” Magoha notes in the letter. The CS has also asked the University to write a justification on the proposed changes, rationale behind the decisions, organization structure, staff establishment, human resource policies and guidelines.
