Embattled Kenyatta University vice-chancellor Paul Wainaina has been sacked.
This is according to a memo sent to the university’s staff and students by acting VC Waceke Wanjohi.
“Further to the earlier communication from Kenyatta University Council, I write to inform you that the council vide a letter to Prof (Paul) Wainaina, resolved to summarily dismiss him from service with effect from August 5, 2022,” read Prof Waceke’s memo dated August 15.
Waceke’s letter comes just a day after Wainaina wrote a letter to staff and students asking them not to take orders from the current administration over claims that it is illegitimately in office.
Wainaina told them that the current university council chaired by Chrispus Kiamba is illegally constituted and could transact any business on behalf of the university.
The VC together with the previous council declined to excise 410 acres to the government after they were requested to submit the institution’s title to the Lands ministry for excision.
