    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for confirming my fears. This Question came on 8th November, 2011 and the Assistant Minister indicated that the interviews were ongoing. Today he has confirmed that, truly, on 7th November, 2011 the gentleman was re-appointed. I want to thank him for confirming that the process was not procedural. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to confirm my fears, allow me to indicate here that on the same 8th November, 2011 when this issue was on the Floor, a letter was written by a one Eng. Julius Riungu, who is the Chairman of the Council addressed to Prof. Njeru referring to his letter of 6th April, 2011. It reads as follows:- “I am pleased to inform you that during the Council’s Executive Committee meeting on 7th November, 2011 your application for re-appointment was accepted. You are, therefore, re-appointed for a period of five years effective 7th November, 2011.” This is a letter written by the Chairman of the Council to Prof. Njeru. On 9th November, 2011 a letter was written by Prof. Francis Njeru, who is the Deputy Vice- Chancellor. It states as follows:- “I hereby inform you that I have received a letter re- appointing me for five years. I have today, 9th November, 2011 resumed my duties as DVC.” This is a level of serious impunity and I want the Assistant Minister to confirm to this House that this statement he has made today is actually revoking the letter written by the Chairman of the Council which was unprocedural and that the DVC is not in office from today until the right procedures are followed."
