Moi University issues assurance to staff and students amid redundancy fears
Moi University has assured students, staff, parents and the public that its operations remain uninterrupted despite ongoing public concerns over its financial position and speculation about possible redundancies or closure.
In a statement on Friday, July 3, the institution said it is on a recovery path following years of financial challenges and is implementing reforms aimed at restoring long-term financial stability.
“Moi University wishes to give our students, staff, parents and the wider public an unequivocal assurance that the University is open, fully functional, and continues to deliver on its academic mandate,” the statement read.
The university explained that it appeared before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Education on Thursday, July 2, to present its financial position and outline the recovery measures being implemented to ensure sustainable operations.
According to the institution, the financial difficulties currently under discussion did not arise recently but accumulated over several years, prompting government intervention.
“Moi University appeared before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Education on Thursday 2nd July, 2026 to provide an account of its financial position and an update on reform measures being undertaken to ensure sustainability in its operations.
The University appreciates Parliament’s oversight role and reaffirms its commitment to transparency, accountability and institutional recovery.
“The financial challenges under discussion have accumulated over several years and are attributed to factors already in the public domain and have informed the strategic intervention by Government,” the statement added.
The university said it has been working closely with the Ministry of Education, the University Council and management to implement a comprehensive recovery plan designed to improve its financial health.
