Three North Rift legislators have called for the overhaul of University of Eldoret (UoE) management to end the crisis at the institution, which has led to frequent strikes.

West Pokot Senator John Lonyangapuo said the trouble bedevilling the institution was as a result of failure by current management to effectively co-ordinate learning and other activities.
