Top University of Nairobi Officials Targeted In Fresh Purge by Education CS Julius Ogamba
Education CS Julius Ogamba, through a Gazette notice, has revoked the appointments of four members of the University of Nairobi council amid growing scrutiny of the institution’s leadership.
Through Gazette Notice No. 4656 on Friday, the Education CS revoked the appointments of Sally Ngeringwony Toroitich, Ahmed Sheikh Abdullahi, Dr Parmain Ole Narikae and Carren Kerubo Omwenga.
The revocation, made under Section 36(1)(d) of the Universities Act, 2012, and Section 51(1) of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, comes amid growing scrutiny of the university’s leadership.
This latest purge follows a similar one in December 2024, when the Cabinet Secretary revoked the appointment of Joel Kibe, who had been appointed for a three-year term by former Education CS Ezekiel Machogu as a council member.
Last year in December, Parliament’s Education Committee kicked off investigations in the University Council over the alleged mismanagement of university funds and leadership issues.
