Kenyatta University surrenders title deed, staffers allied to former VC Prof Paul Wainaina to be relieved
Kenyatta University surrenders title deed to effect changes with staffers allied to former VC Prof Paul Wainaina set to be relieved off their duties.
The new council and management at Kenyatta University are planning to effect changes involving senior management at the Univesity.
The new council is chaired by Prof Crispus Kiamba who at one time served as the University of Nairobi Vice-Chancellor.
The council appointed Prof Waceke Wanjohi as acting VC.
According to reports, staffers allied to the former VC Prof Paul Wainaina will be relieved of their responsibilities in the changes to be made.
Prof Wainaina was suspended and the former council dissolved after they refused to surrender the title deed for the university land for excision to World Health Organization(WHO), KUTRRH, African disease Centre and Kamae squatters.
It has also come to light that the new university administration is unable to find the original copy of the contentious title deed.
In the meantime, Prof. Waceke Wanjohi has written to Dr. Nicholas Muraguri, the Principal Secretary for Lands, approving the subdivision of the land.
It is thought that they are eager to have the procedure accelerated before a new administration takes office following the general elections on August 8.
Kenyatta University surrenders title deed
Prof. Wanjohi has asked the Ministry of Land in a letter to start re-planning the procedure for utilizing the data and documentation of the land in accordance with the Cabinet’s instructions.
“The council resolved that this office is to forward the title. In this regard, we wish to confirm that we are yet to obtain the original copy of the title,” said Prof Wanjohi in a letter dated July 15.
A subsequent letter by Prof Kiamba, the chair of the council to the Head of Public Service, Joseph Kinyua has also confirmed the planned transfer of the land.
“I wish to confirm that the University Council met on July 15, 2022, and resolved to surrender the Kenyatta University Land Tile LR No.11026/GRANT 33404 to the Ministry of Lands to enable them to facilitate the re-planning of the above parcel as directed by the Cabinet,” said Prof Kiamba.
Prof Kiamba said, following the council’s approval, the acting VC has been instructed to forward the Title deed to the Ministry of Lands for necessary action.
Already, there is an injunction of the High Court barring the subdivision of the land or interference of the land ownership.
The court also ordered the government to stop harassing any employee, officials, agents, or representatives of the University involved in the land.
