Addressing the Kenyatta University fraternity, the KU VC announced his return and promised to handle the issues that made him go away. 

"God has used the new government to allow wrongs to be rectified using our fundamental principles. The 410 acres is still intact and the title is with us," Prof. Wainaina said. 

Mr. Wainaina was suspended on July 12 following a tiff between him and the university council over the sub-division of the university’s land for use by the Kenyatta University Teaching Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) to set up a World Health Organisation logistics hub — the African Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the Kamae squatters.

Prof Waceke Wanjohi has been the acting VC since Prof Wainaina was suspended.
