FACTS & LIES SURROUNDING MOI UNIV VC STALEMATE

Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago has come under fierce attack by a section of Kenyans for allegedly "inciting" the Kalenjin community over the appointment of Prof. Ayiro the VC of Moi University. Mandago together with some other few legislators from the region including MPS Alfred Keter and Osca Sudi now risk prosecution over remarks they made on the issue. However, a senior lecturer at the UOE has sought to set the record straight concerning the VC stalemate. This is what he had to say:

FACTS

1. Prof Ayiro(Acting VC) is still the substantive Quality Assurance officer of Moi University
2. He was appointed DVC Research and planning a four weeks ago when the substantive DVC was suspended
3. The Council did Interviews six months ago and 3 names forwarded to CS Matiangi for appointment of which the now famous Prof Isaac Kosgey is part of the three.
4. Prof Ayiro never applied nor was he interviewed but was picked after the Council forwarded three names of Current Acting DVCs for CS Matiangi to pick an acting VC as they continue consulting who among the three forwarded is fit.
5. The Governors never demanded for a Kalenjin VC but how they over reacted after they got news of information about the delay to appoint a substantive VC was their undoing
6. It’s just a coincidence that may be Prof Kosgei was ranked number 1 in the interview-something that we know not since he is among the three names forwarded...the CS may not have picked him after all. All Kenyans including Prof Kosgey and Prof Ayiro should be treated fairly.
7. Kenyans should excuse and forgive the governors for their overreaction and instead find out the truth and stop calling Uasin Gishu and residents primitive and Syenzi.....
8. Kenyans have not been fair and have been misreporting these facts.
