Confusion hits UoN as ousted VC Prof Kiama vows to stayConfusion has rocked the University of Nairobi (UoN) after Prof Kiama Gitahi (pictured) dismissed the gazette notice revoking his appointment as the institution's Vice Chancellor just hours after Education CS George Magoha announced his removal. “For avoidance of doubt, my appointment as the lawfully and validly appointed VC of UoN still subsists. Magoha appointed Deputy VC (Finance, Planning and Development) Prof Isaac Mbeche to act as the new VC until the process of appointing a substantive VC is completed. In a statement dated January 17, Magoha directed that Prof Kiama continue dispensing his duties as deputy VC, Human Resource and Administration. They included Prof Benard Kimani Njoroge, Prof Solomon Igosangwa Shibairo, Prof Patricia Kameri Mbote, Prof Madara Ogot, Prof Kareithi Ruth Wanjiru Nduati, Prof Stephen Kiama Gitahi, Prof Elijah Omwenga and Prof Mbeche.
