Daystar University have appointed former Moi University acting vice chancellor Prof Laban Ayiro.
According to the university’s council chairman Henry Thairu, “The appointment of Prof Ayiro follows a rigorous process which started on December 5, 2018.”
He further added saying the council settled on Ayiro as the university’s fourth VC after interviewing six potential candidates from 30 applicants
‘The new vice chancellor will be taken through an elaborate one-month induction, orientation and handover process by the acting vice chancellor Prof James Kombo,” Thairu said.
Kombo has been the acting VC since June last year following the dismissal of Prof Timothy Wachira.
Wachira was shown the door after chaos rocked the institution’s twin campuses in Nairobi and Athi River in December 2017 after Students accused him of misappropriation of funds and poor leadership
Until his appointment, Prof Ayiro was the acting VC at Moi University between September 2016 and March 2018.
He replaced Prof Richard Mibey whose term had ended.
