A union wants the planned lay off of Moi University lecturers to be shelved, arguing that it would violate various laws and guidelines issued by the government.
Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) said in a letter to the university’s acting Vice Chancellor Kiplagat Kotut that the redundancy plans had no legal or financial justification as it would be in violation of the Employment Act, the Constitution, and Commission for High Education standard and guidelines for university academic programmes, among others.
