The saga began after the Head of the Public Service Joseph Kinyua wrote to the KU Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Paul Wainaina directing him to hand over a title deed to the land. The university led by Wainaina questioned the lack of negotiations.

An internal memo from acting Vice-Chancellor Waceke Wanjohi informed staff and students of Wainaina's dismissal. It further told them to disregard any directives from the former Vice-Chancellor.

LSK, represented by senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi, told the court that the chairman of the university council Prof Shem Migot-Adholla had raised constitutional and statutory questions surrounding the planned land acquisition.

Prof Wainaina told staff on Tuesday morning “This is probably the last time you’ll see me addressing you as VC”.

Kenyatta University Vice Chancellor, Paul Wainaina, revealed this when he recently raised concern over the low number of professors at the institution of higher learning, worried that it might affect the quality education and research. It is an irony as the university is the custodian of churning out academics such as professors and doctors. He said Kenyatta University has not had a full professor for the past four years to replace those who retire or leave through other causes.
