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 Ayiro's appointment was thus promptly rescinded, and Prof.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!'.
