Prof Julius Ogeng’o will for the next six months act as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nairobi.

His appointment by the Council of the University follows the approval of Prof Stephen Kiama’s request to proceed on sabbatical leave until end of January 2024.

The communication from the Council was reached after a special meeting conducted on July 31, 2023.

“During its special meeting, the Council approved the Vice Chancellor’s request dated July 28, 2023 to proceed on leave for a period of six months with effect from August 1, 2023,” said the internal memo.

“In the absence of the Vice Chancellor, the Council appointed Prof Julius Ogeng’o to discharge the duties of the office of the Vice Chancellor in an acting capacity effective August 1, 2023,” it added.

The Director of Corporate Affairs John Orindi, however, did not provide the reasons why Prof Kiama requested for the extended period out of his work station.

Prof Kiama, who was previously the Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Human Resource and Administration, took charge on January 5, 2020 to serve for a five-year term that is set to end in 2025.

He is a seasoned lecturer and a medical doctor, and holds BSc, MBChB, PhD, MD and DSc degrees from the University of Nairobi.
