BY SAM ALFAN.
Former Kenyatta University Vice Chancellor, Olive Mugenda will not serve as the CEO Kenyatta University Health Care System Limited.
This is after the high court withdrew her appointment letter dated 4th May 2016.
The court also stopped the unilateral incorporation and registration of the University hospital.
In a consent entered by the parties in the suit, the KU Teaching and Referral Hospital and all its intended affiliate facilities are public assets owned by Kenyatta University and shall be managed according to the constitution of the Universities Act 2012, the Kenyatta University Charter and the Kenyatta University Statutes.
Activist Okiya Omtata under a certificate of urgency, moved to court to bar the council from effecting Mugenda’s appointment as the CEO Kenyatta University Health Care System Limited.
She turned down a lucrative package proposed by the university council, in recognition of her impressive development record.
The benefits included a 10-day holiday to a country of her choice in the company of her spouse or a friend.
Mugenda was also granted a personal vehicle and a retirement home all estimated to cost of Sh22.5 million by the council.
Mugenda retired on March 20, 2016 after a decade at the institution’s helm.
