Following the students’ strike earlier this week, Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu named the new Meru University Council.

Following the dismissal of Meru University Vice-Chancellor Professor Romanus Odhiambo, the students went on a rampage.

The University Council had placed Professor Odhiambo on indefinite leave, causing student unrest on Monday.

After the students’ strike, Machogu fired the council and appointed a new one on Friday.

The council’s chairperson has been named Dr. Jane Kiringai.

The council will also include Janet Afandi, Martin Kinoti, Jacob Kwaba, Lucy Rimanto, and Sylvester Kinyor, according to the CS.

The six new appointees will serve on the council for three years, beginning March 10, 2023.

According to the Act, University Councils must appoint a Vice Chancellor after consulting with the Cabinet Secretary for Education.

“Unfortunately, the Council failed to fulfill its legal duty of fidelity to the applicable law,” Machogu stated.
