Former governor wanted college to be built in Sigor.
Land for the dumpsite was formerly owned by the Prison department.
Current governor has the support of the President and Mr William Ruto.
The government has given Bomet County a 10-acre piece of land as a dumpsite in place of the one earmarked for the construction of a university, ending a row that began with the last devolved unit.
The location had been the centre of controversy when former Governor Isaac Ruto went to court to stop the relocation of the 10-acre dumpsite to create space for the institution.
