Tenures of four members of the Council of the University of Nairobi (UoN) have been ended by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba.
The CS published a gazette notice in which he sanctioned the revocation of the individuals' memberships in the council.
The affected quartet includes Sally Ngeringwony Toroitich, Ahmed Sheikh Abdullahi, Dr Parmain Ole Narikae, and Carren Kerubo Omwenga.
Ogamba did not immediately announce the replacements.
"In exercise of the powers conferred by section 36 (1) (d) of the Universities Act, 2012, as read together with section 51 (1) of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, *revokes the appointment of Sally Ngeringwony Toroitich, Ahmed Sheikh Abdullahi, Parmain Ole Narikae (Dr.), Carren Kerubo Omwenga, as Members of the Council of the University of Nairobi, with effect from the 11th April, 2025," the notice read.

The UoN Council, which oversees the critical affairs of the university, has in the recent past been experiencing routine turnovers.
In February this year, CS Ogamba revoked the appointment of Professor Amukowa Anangwe as the chairperson of the council.
The CS sanctioned the decision via a gazette notice published on Friday, February 21.
Anangwe's tenure ended immediately after the notice.
CS Ogamba's decision was preceded by the calls for Amukowa's resignation.
The University Academic Staff Union (UASU) wanted the don ejected from the UoN's leadership, citing his alleged mismanagement of the tertiary institution.
UASU members threatened a strike if Anangwe would not be removed from the post.
