Lectures at Masinde Muliro\nUniversity of Science and Technology (Mmust) kicked out the entire leadership\nof the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) for running down the institution\nwith \u2018petty politics\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former leadership was also\naccused of bringing instability to the institution in last three years with\nprotracted court; the reason the varsity is not having substantial office bears\nfor the post of Vice Chancellor and his three deputies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Bernard Omogo won the Secretary\nGeneral seat with a landslide victory after garnering 144 votes against Robison\nOduma who got 91 votes.  Mr. Oduma prior to the elections was serving as\nUasu Chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Humphrey Agevi was elected as Assistant\nSecretary General after he garnered 182 votes against incumbent Henry Lianda\nwho got 56 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Jairus Odawa who is the new Uasu\nChaiman got 153 votes after beating Agatha Mbakaya who bagged 80 votes while\nConsolata Lusweti was elected as the Vice Chairperson after garnering 148 votes\nagainst incumbent Atichi Alati’s 86 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis election was not about winning but to restore sanity in the university. We are going to move away from the leadership of conflicts with the management to that of engagement and negotiations,\u201d said Dr Odawa, the new Uasu Chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Odawa said they are going to\nsupport the government in the recruitment of substantive Vice Chancellor and\nhis three deputies in a bid to ensure seal the leadership vacuum that has been\ninexistence for the last three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cWe want the government to\nappoint top managers of the university and we shall support the process and we\nshall work with whoever will be appointed so long he or she qualifies to the\nposition appointed to. We want to see peaceful discussions among ourselves in\norder to deliver results to our people,\u201d said Odawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Bernard Omogo, the new Uasu Mmust\nbranch secretary said they would work to foster good working relationship\nbetween the unions and the management in order to deliver what they promised to\ntheir members during the campaign period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe understand the challenges that\nwe have gone through as Uasu Mmust Chapter and we are ready to face more\nchallenges that will come. Members have spoken through the ballot and we shall\nwork through unity to deliver,\u201d said Omogo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institution has been without a\nsubstantive VC since December 1, 2018 following the exit of Prof Fredrick\nOtieno (now deceased). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, the institution has had\nthree acting vice chancellors with the current one being Prof Solomon Shibairo,\nformerly Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Academics and Students Affairs at\nKibabii University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
