No Irregularities
Prof. Kotut strongly denied claims circulating in some media reports suggesting wrongdoing.
“We strongly dispel any misleading claims or insinuations… The auction does not imply or suggest any irregular activity,” he stated.
Committed to Good Governance

Call for Accurate Reporting
The university urged the public and media to ignore unverified claims. It asked stakeholders to rely on official channels for accurate information.
The statement aimed to reassure the public that the auction is a clean and well-managed process. Prof. Kotut affirmed that Moi University will continue to operate with integrity and in full compliance with the law.
