Moi University is planning to lay off several staff, including lecturers, as it grapples with severe financial difficulties accumulated over more than a decade.

• The university faces a debt of over Ksh8 billion and pending bills exceeding Ksh10 billion.
• Acting Vice Chancellor Kiplagat Kotut informed lawmakers of the impending workforce reduction following a workload analysis.
• Despite the challenges, Kotut reported an increase in student enrollment, rising from 5,000 in 2024 to an expected 10,000 this year, citing improved academic calendar progression and resolution of "missing marks."
