Leaders in Coast have demanded the reinstatement of Technical University of Mombasa Vice Chancellor Josphat Mwatela.

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i sacked the VC last week over integrity and abuse of office allegations. But Coast Parliamentary Group Chair MP Gunga Mwinga and Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi said yesterday there was no just cause to sack the VC. The leaders accused the Jubilee administration of witch-hunt.
