He disclosed plans to overhaul the management and allocate adequate resources to salvage the financially troubled institution.
“We will put in place an efficient management team and allocate sufficient resources so that Moi University can thrive like other public universities,” President Ruto said last Friday.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba has fired all Moi University council members and appointed a new team to oversee the restructuring of the institution.
Mr Ogamba has revoked the appointment of Dr Humphrey Kimani Njuguna as the council chairman and replaced him with Prof Noah Midamba, two weeks after President William Ruto promised to constitute a committee to evaluate the scale of the crisis facing the university and recommend a long-lasting solution.
