[Photo: Courtesy]Former Education CS Fred Matiangí has appointed substantive Vice Chancellors in six public universities. In a letter dated January 26, and seen by the Standard, the now Interior CS appointed the VCs for Rongo University, Machakos University, University of Embu, Kenyatta University, Kirinyaga University and Muranga university respectively. However, Moi University, Cooperative University and Taita Taveta University are still having Vice Chancellors in an acting capacity. The six universities which have now received VCs were part of the nine public universities in the country which did not have substantive leaders. In August, 2015, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) through its Chairperson, Francis Ole Kaparo proclaimed that public universities have turned out to be incubators of tribalism.
