UoN in Turmoil: Council Maintains Stand Against VC Kiama

Drama unfolds at UoN as the leadership crisis escalates. Will the Vice Chancellor succumb to the Council's decision? Find out more!

The University of Nairobi (UoN) is currently embroiled in a power struggle as the leadership wrangles intensify and the Council maintains its stance against Vice Chancellor Prof. Stephen Kiama. Despite the defiance displayed by Prof. Kiama, the Council Chairperson, Professor Amukowa Anangwe, has asserted the decision to send him on leave, adding fuel to the already heated situation.

The UoN Council's insistence on removing Prof. Kiama from his position comes after weeks of legal battles and court-issued stay orders. This latest development marks another chapter in the ongoing turmoil within the university's top leadership.

In a surprising turn of events, Vice Chancellor Prof. Kiama has been sent on yet another compulsory leave, just a month after he returned from a previous leave. The repeated cycle of leaves raises questions about the stability and governance of one of Kenya's leading institutions of higher learning.

Amidst the chaos, UoN students have found a silver lining with the opportunity to benefit from the Huawei ICT programme. This initiative not only equips them with cutting-edge technologies but also provides a much-needed distraction from the internal strife plaguing the university.
