This comes weeks after former University of Nairobi Chancellor Dr. Vijoo Rattansi passed away. 

In an update on Thursday, July 30, former UoN Vice Chancellor Prof. Stephen Kiama Gitahi confirmed her passing, describing Rattansi as a dedicated advocate for higher education.

"Dr. Rattansi was a champion of higher education whose generosity, through numerous academic scholarships, opened doors for many," he wrote.

Kiama reflected on the personal support he received from the former chancellor, recalling that she stood by him during a difficult period in his leadership journey at the University of Nairobi.

"On a personal level, as I recounted in my autobiography, she stood resolutely by my side after the midnight message," he added.

Kiama concluded by conveying his sympathy to her loved ones and expressing hope that they would find strength during the period of mourning.

"I extend my heartfelt prayers to her family, trusting that the God of all comfort will sustain them through this difficult period," he further said.
