The High Court has been asked to quash a decision by Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha appointing Prof Francis Gichaga as chairperson of Karatina University council. Prof Magoha had gazetted a notice on February 5 appointing Prof Gichaga as the chairperson of Karatina University council for a period of three years. The court order which stopped Prof Murema from assuming office arose out of a case filed by the former chairperson of the council Karatina University. Prof Murema now says if the court does not stop Prof Gichaga from assuming office he will lose his position. Prof Murema in his suit papers says that there is no legal basis for the CS to make another appointment.
