Education cabinet Secretary George Magoha with Maseno University chancellor Julius Nyabundi during the 20th graduation ceremony at the Institution on April 30, 2021. This comes ahead of a law change that will soon take away PSC’s recruitment powers in institutions of higher learning. There is no reason at all why these positions should remain vacant for so long,” said University Education and Research Principal Secretary Simon Nabukwesi. Before the amendment, the appointments were made by the Education Cabinet secretary upon recommendation by the councils. Dr Nabukwesi, who has been fighting for the recruitment powers to be handed back to Jogoo House, citing “unnecessary bureaucracy and incompetence”, says PSC should not wait for the law change process to run its course.
