When the Public Service Commission (PSC) declared a vacancy in the office of the vice-chancellor at Kaimosi Friends University (Kafu) on August 8, 2023, it was hard to imagine the journey to get a substantive VC for the first and only University in Vihiga County could end up in court.
Today, the process to have the University get a VC has diverted from the academic corridors to the corridors of justice where one of the candidates who felt shortchanged in the hiring process is seeking redress.
