Daystar University sacks Vice Chancellor Timothy Wachira

Daystar University Vice Chancellor Prof. Timothy Wachira has been sacked following frequent unrest by the students, who accused him of mismanagement of school resources and poor leadership.

Making the announcement, the University confirmed that Professor James Kombo will take over at the Vice Chancellor in an acting capacity.

“This is to inform the University Community that the University Council has terminated the services of Prof. Timothy Wachira as Vice_chancellor of Daystar University. Prof. Wachira is in the process of handing over and clearing from the University,” said Daystar University.

During the recent demonstrations by the students in April this year, Prof. Wachira was accused of not running the institution in accordance with the proposed university charter.

Allegations of immense corruption and lack of transparency at the institution also plagued his reign.

According to many students, Wachira’s poor leadership undermined academic programmes and this led to student boycotts in December last year and early January 2018 which saw the university being closed and re-opened on multiple occasions.

Prof. Wachira was in December last year sent on leave by the University’s council pending investigations into the allegations raised against him by student leaders.
