Two governors and several MPs stormed Moi University on Tuesday to stop newly appointed acting VC Laban Ayiro from taking over.
Education CS Fred Matiang’i appointed Ayiro to replace outgoing vice chancellor Richard Mibey whose term ended on Monday.
Ayiro, who is acting deputy vice-chancellor in charge of planning, is to act for three months before the substantive VC is appointed.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, who led the protest wit Elgeyo Marakwet’s Alex Tolgos, said they want professor Isaac Kosgey appointed as he “topped recruitment interviews”
He said they will stop the university’s graduation ceremony on Friday if Kosgey is not installed.
“We want to be very clear on this. There will be no graduation on Friday if Kosgey is not the VC,” he said in address to workers at the institution. “We have told Matiang’i to immediately release his appointment letter.”
