Moi University has defended the recent sacking of over 1,200 staff, saying the move was a last-resort measure to prevent the institution from financial collapse.
Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Education, the university's management said it was drowning in wage bills, spending far more on salaries than it was earning.
Members of Parliament on Tuesday hard-pressed the university management led by acting Vice Chancellor Kiplagat Kotut to explain the criteria used to lay off staff in the institution.
This follows allegations that the exercise was conducted without consultation with the unions- staff representatives- and favoritism in those the institution chose to lay off.
