Matiang'i sacking of varsity boss illegal, Labour Court rules

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i lacked authority to sack former Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) vice chancellor Prof Josephat Mwatelah, a court has ruled Friday.

Employment and Labour Relations Judge Onesmas Makau said the CS lacked authority under the Universities Act, the university’s charter, its statutes and terms and conditions of service to sack the varsity boss last year.
