Speaking through an application certified as urgent, University Academic Staff Union claimed that the University of Nairobi as well implemented the changes announced last month, despite the existence of a court order halting the process.
According to the Union, the vice-chancellor and the institution illicitly appointed staff in non-existent positions who have begun issuing directives, and memos, yet their occupation of the positions stands suspended by the court.
The Union also wants Prof Julius Ogeng’o, Acting Associate VC Academic Affairs, Mr. Brian Ouma (Acting Chief Operations Officer), and Prof Ephraim Wahome (acting Executive Dean, Faculty of Arts) jailed for six months for scorning the order issued on July 22.
Others to be quoted for disdain include, Prof John Mande (acting Executive Dean, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine), Prof Francis Mulaa (Acting Executive Dean, Faculty of Science & Technology), Prof Winfred Kamau (acting Executive Dean, Faculty of Law), Prof Leonidah Kerubo (Associate Dean, Faculty of Science & Technology) and Prof Mohamud Jama (Acting Executive Dean, Faculty of Social Science)
“That the above be punished for contempt of court by committal to civil jail for a period of not more than six months or as directed by the court and or fined Sh500,000, each in accordance with the law,” the application stated.
