By FRANCIS MUREITHIMore by this AuthorThe Labour court has given Egerton University Vice-Chancellor Rose Awuor Mwonya a clean bill of health following a long battle over claims of mismanaging the institution. The court dismissed the university council's letter that sent Prof Mwonya on compulsory leave as “unlawful and irregular as the rules of natural justice were not complied with”. In her judgement, Justice Monica Mbaru also said the council erred in sending Prof Mwonya on leave as the decision was taken without reference to the appointing authority. 'COMMON CRIMINAL'Justice Mbaru further observed that the office of the VC carries with it statutory functions for the entire institution. The VC had been mbroiled in a leadership wrangle with the university council, which took her to court over corruption and mismanagement of the university.
