The tussle over the formation of the new University of Nairobi Council has taken another twist, with the State Law Office saying the old council ought to be in office.

An advisory opinion by Attorney General Githu Muigai has overruled the process instituted by Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to replace the old team and called for status quo until pending court cases are heard and concluded.
