Moi University has dismissed a memo that claimed the institution has resolved to resume learning operations following its indefinite closure.
On Friday, October 11, the university flagged the memo as fake after it suggested that the university senate had resolved to reopen the school on Monday, October 14.
The memo, which bore a stamp from the office of the Vice-Chancellor, also claimed that the university management would ensure all operations, including hostel accommodation, would resume on the stated date.
This comes after the institution was indefinitely closed on Thursday, October 3, following a prolonged lecturers' strike, which also led to the strike of students.
Consequently, all students were asked to vacate all campuses and the main university with immediate effect.

Additionally, those staying in the school were asked to leave the hostels with immediate effect.
At the same time, the university disclosed that reopening dates would be communicated in due course.
"Re-opening dates will be communicated in due course. The University Council and Management are working to ensure that university operations resume as soon as possible.
"Further, we thank the students for their understanding and support in maintaining calm during the period when academic programmes were disrupted," read part of a memo by the institution's Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kosgei.
Previously, lecturers and workers at Moi University downed their tools over delayed salaries.
This crippled learning at the institution, forcing the students to join the strike and demand for the school administration to resolve the stalemate with the lecturers.
