"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 2(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee of Education regarding the removal of Professor Amukowa Anangwe as the Chairperson of the University of Nairobi Council. On 21st February 2025, the Cabinet Secretary for Education revoked the appointment of Professor Amukowa Anangwe as the Chairperson of the University of Nairobi Council. The revocation followed mounting pressure from the University's Academic Staff Union (UASU), which issued a seven-day ultimatum demanding his removal."

"content": "Notably, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nairobi expressed concern about the demands by UASU, stating that all decisions made by the Council underwent all lawful channels before implementation. Article 47 of the Constitution of Kenya provides that every person has the right to fair administrative action. Unfortunately, the revocation of the appointment of Professor Amukowa Anangwe appears to have been processed without granting him the opportunity to respond to the allegations. It is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: 1. The specific reason that led to the dismissal of Professor Amukowa Anangwe from his position as Chairperson of the University of Nairobi Council. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

We are happy that the revocation has been done. It is completely out of order for him to claim that UASU started the whole thing. I am still waiting for a response to my Statement. Thank you."
