Moi University dismisses fake reopening memo amid staff strikes

Moi University has dismissed a memo that falsely claimed the institution would resume learning operations on October 14 following its indefinite closure. The university, which has been grappling with staff strikes and student unrest, flagged the memo as fake on Friday, October 11.

The misleading document, purportedly stamped by the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, suggested that the University Senate had resolved to reopen, promising the resumption of learning activities and hostel accommodations. However, Moi University officials were quick to clarify that no such decision had been made.

“The re-opening dates will be communicated in due course,” read a memo from Vice-Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kosgey, as the university works to resolve ongoing disruptions. The statement underscored the administration’s commitment to restoring normalcy, thanking students for their patience amid the tumultuous period.

This development comes just days after the university suspended all learning and teaching activities for the 2024/2025 first semester. The decision, announced on October 3, followed a special Senate meeting and was driven by staff industrial action and growing student unrest. Lecturers and workers had downed tools over delayed salaries, prompting students to join the protest.

Prof. Kosgey, in a memo at the time, stated that the University Senate had resolved to suspend all activities as a result of the staff strike and student protests. “All students in all campuses should vacate the University premises with immediate effect,” the memo ordered. International students were advised to liaise with the Dean of Students for further guidance.

The university has not yet provided a definitive timeline for reopening, leaving thousands of students, both local and international, in limbo. Prof. Kosgey assured the university community that efforts were underway to resolve the ongoing issues and resume operations as soon as possible.
