    "content": "appears that before and after the interview for the position, crucial information leaked from the University’s Council on how the candidates scored before the same information was relayed to the candidates and the Cabinet Secretary in the Department of Education. It is also obvious that a lot of pressure is being put on the Cabinet Secretary on who to appoint or recommend for appointment to the position. The pressure appears orchestrated to force the appointment of a specific person. In the statement the Chairperson should report on the following:- (a) Whether he is satisfied that the Council of the University of Nairobi acted correctly in conducting the interviews itself instead of having an independent body conduct the same as has been the norm in the past? Did the Council have the capacity to interview for such a crucial position? If so, why has there been so much acrimony? (b) Whether he is satisfied of the foregoing not withstanding that the interviews were conducted fairly and that all the candidates were treated equally and that there was no conflict of interest from among the Council Members? (c) How crucial information on the interviews leaked before it reached the candidates and the Cabinet Secretary? If the leakage was from the Council itself; whether he is satisfied that the Council has the moral authority to continue being in place? (d) Whether the whole process should not be annulled and the position advertised anew to allow for a fair and transparent process leading to the appointment of the Vice Chancellor?"
