KU student leaders welcome the VC back

Kenyatta University student leaders welcome the Vice chancellor Paul Wainana into the university.

The students embraced him on Wednesday with joy and celebration.

This comes after the  Employment and Labor Court suspended the decision to sack him.

He was originally sacked over allegations regarding a piece of land adjacent to Kenyatta University Teaching, Research and Referral Hospital.

This is after the High court issued orders barring any sub-division or interference with ownership of the Kenyatta University land.

Wainana had been replaced by Waceke Wanjohi.

Wanjohi is KU's Deputy Vice-Chancellor in charge of Academics.

This comes after the Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua had written a letter on July 4 instructing the council to hand over the institution title deeds, a request that was declined, leading to Wainaina's tribulations.

The court has now issued an order suspending his sacking pending the hearing of the case.

"This Honourable Court be pleased to issue a temporary order suspending the implementation of the decision contained in the letter dated 12th July 2022 by Professor Crispus Kiamba in toto suspending, terminating and/or dismissing the Petitioner from the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, rendering his position vacant and/or revoking his salary," remarked judge Jacob Gakeri.
