Today marks exactly 5 years to the day on September 20th 2016, that Kalenjin leaders lead by Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, his Elgeyo Marakwet counterpart Alex Tolgos, MPs Oscar Sudi, Bett, Tiren and others led a huge mob of their tribesmen into Moi University to evict Prof. Laban Ayiro from the University, and run him out of town, upon being appointed Acting Vice Chancellor, accusing him ~ a Luhya by ethnicity ~ of being an outsider, and was hence not allowed to head a Kalenjin University. The immediate former VC ~ one Prof. Richard Mibey ~ was a Kalenjin, and they demanded that only a fellow Kalenjin could succeed him.

Further, they swore by their 'warrior heritage' that if the Luhya acting VC would not be ejected from the position, they would violently disrupt the upcoming graduation ceremony, and that no student would ever graduate from the University, under any VC that was not of Kalenjin ethnicity. They demanded that upon the ejection of Prof. Ayiro, one Prof. Isaac Kosgey be appointed to the position immediately. Knowing them from previous experience, the then Education CS Fred Matiangi was certain that they wouldn't let Prof. Ayiro ~ his phenomenal qualification for the job notwithstanding ~ work, and gave in to their demands.

Prof. Ayiro's appointment was thus promptly rescinded, and Prof. Kosgey appointed to the position. Five short years later, the Auditor-General has revealed that Moi University is technically insolvent, and that the University is a whopping 4.5 Billion bob in debt. The EACC has since summoned Vice-Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kosgey to explain to which politician's home he carted all the University's cash, to oil his political campaign. Ati these are the guys some of you folks want to hand our national coffers to next year. Guys who take all the cash for Dams, and don't give a damn, or a Dam! Guys who eat 'mpaka stock ya biashara macho kali!'.

It has always come to my attention that whenever we are a year to elections, ethnic demonization comes into play in 2006-2007, 2012-2013, 2016-2017 and now.
The ethnic group that is often demonised, ends up taking the presidency, we were treated to shenanigans of people raping a donkey to death and many cases of animal loving in central Kenya in the previous demonization, which funnily disappear after the election cycle.

It should not be forgotten that UON, KU and TUK are technically insolvent too, dating back to 2019, i suspect all public unis in this country are in the same hole now
but regardless of that UNIs should have foreseen this and put mitigation measures like scaling on staff etc., they are supposed to be a place of research, coz immediately JAB started picking from C+ , it was obvious parallel students numbers will dwindled. Private universities saw this and ensured they get students under JAB admitted in their institutions.

Going by mara heist , am sure most if not all public universities are worse, they cannot hide under decline in number of students yet MKU is still admitting both jab and private students.

Those VCs live like gods. They have gyms, heated swimos, and other unnecesary thing in their offices. H

The tragedy of it all is that the person's spreading the lies, misinformation are people who know better, if we do not rise to defend one another from such propaganda politicians will keep holding us hostage

the bigger tragedy is that people you expect to know better believe those lies and misinformation and take them as the gospel truth, telling them otherwise only angers them
