A lecturers’ union wants the University of Nairobi (UoN) vice-chancellor Stephen Kiama and eight other senior officials jailed for disregarding a court order over the restructuring of the institution in a move that saw some schools and courses abolished.

In an application certified as urgent, University Academic Staff Union (Uasu) says UoN has gone ahead and implemented the changes announced last month, despite the existence of a court order halting the process.
