Garissa University College Staff Ordered to Leave Moi University

The Principal of Garissa University College (GUC) has ordered all administrative and support staff to report back to Garissa with immediate effect.

Through an internal memo the employees who had relocated to Moi university campus in Eldoret, have been directed to report to the acting Deputy Principal Finance Administration and Planning by 1st July to resume duties in their departments.

The memo by Professor Ahmed Warfa also directs heads of departments of finance, procurement, internal audit and other administrative units to ensure that all items relocated from the college are moved back to Garissa, the Standard reports.

Prof. Warfa has requested the Deputy Principal Academic and Students Affairs to release vehicle plate number KCA 533F, to ferry items from Eldoret to Garissa.

Some of the staff from the institution have however expressed concerns over the directive, noting that they are not assured of their safety.

Speaking to the Standard, the Principal has maintained that the directive has to be honoured since the staff belong to the university and not Moi University.

He said that the staff must report to their works stations as the University does renovation and takes stock before it is reopened.

Garissa University College was closed down following a terror attack in the institution, where 147 students and one security officer were killed.
