Moi University Alumni Demand Immediate Dismissal of Vice Chancellor Over Crisis.
The Moi University Alumni Association has called for the immediate removal of Vice Chancellor Isaac Kosgei, accusing him of failing to address the challenges that have pushed the institution into a severe crisis.
The alumni raised these concerns after meeting with Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos at the Ministry of Education in Nairobi.
The association alleged that the university’s management is marred by financial misappropriation and a lack of accountability.
They demanded a forensic audit by the Auditor General to uncover the extent of financial irregularities.
The alumni expressed frustration over what they described as the “politicization” of the university’s management, which they believe has further exacerbated its problems.
Calls for Leadership Overhaul
The association questioned why the Vice Chancellor has not resigned despite the institution’s deteriorating state.
They called for a cultural shift in leadership, advocating for underperforming officials to step aside and allow more competent individuals to take charge.

The alumni acknowledged recent efforts by the Ministry of Education to address the challenges facing Moi University and other public universities.
