Members of Parliament on Tuesday attempted to save the once-vibrant academic giant, the University of Nairobi.
The university has been faced with challenges, among them leadership wrangles and financial mismanagement claims.
In a bid to weigh in on the problems facing the varsity, the MPs from the Education Committee summoned the institution's acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Margaret Hutchinson, who had a tough time before the lawmakers as she faced their questions.
The lawmakers demanded to know the legality of certain administrative positions and the prolonged vacancies in senior roles within the institution.
