University of Nairobi bosses upbeat as 8,000 graduate

University of Nairobi Vice Chancellor Peter Mbithi has assured Kenyans that wrangles within the management of the country’s oldest institution of higher learning, have been resolved.

Prof Mbithi and Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration and Finance, Bernard Njoroge have for months been locked in a power struggle that slowed the smooth running of the institution. Friday, Mbithi admitted wrangles with his suspended deputy had made transition a challenge since the exit of former Vice-Chancellor George Magoha. He said the university's image had suffered but dispelled fears that the situation had compromised the institution’s capabilities.
