A fresh leadership crisis has engulfed Kenya's premier institution, the University of Nairobi (UoN), following the abrupt dissolution of its governing council by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba.

In a gazette notice issued on Friday, Ogamba revoked the appointment of four members of the university council-Sally Toroitich, Ahmed Abdullahi, Parmain Ole Narikae, and Carren Kerubo Omwenga-effective April 11.
