Prof. Ayiro was appointed to cover up graft  Keter

Nandi Hills Member of Parliament, Alfred Keter has alleged that the appointment of Prof. Laban Ayiro as the Moi university Vice chancellor is allegedly a plot by corrupt cartels to cover up a huge laptop tender scandal.

Addressing the residents of Eldoret town, the outspoken MP said, “Some cartels swindled a huge amount of money meant for laptop tender which was secured by Moi University and a South African based company. Now they are working very hard to conceal the scandal.’’

The MP also asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene and listen to the voices of people who are calling for change of current Moi University Vice chancellor Prof. Laban Ayiro.

Keter stated that he will not allow corrupt cartels to change the leadership of Moi University for their selfish interests. According to him the government had budgeted Ksh.17 billion for the procurement of laptops to complement the computer literacy program me.

He maintained that their push for appointment of Prof. Kosgei as Moi University Vice Chancellor is purely on merit, and not a tribal move as sections of the media reported.

He said that any Kenyan who qualifies to lead the institution – including Prof. Kosgei – should be given the opportunity to VC.

Keter wondered why the Ministry of Education appointed Prof Laban Ayiro in an acting capacity, despite the fact that interviews were conducted for the role, with winners being announced.
