The appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor at Maseno University is on hold due to a third court case challenging the recruitment process, casting doubt on the fairness and merit of the selection.

• A Public Service Commission (PSC) recommendation to the Maseno University Council has been questioned for excluding the second and third-ranked candidates.
• Key individuals involved include petitioner Evans Aseto and potentially Vice-Chancellor candidates Prof Bulitia Godrick Mathews, Prof Bernard O. Aduda, and Prof Francis Jakim Mulaa.
• The legal challenge argues that the PSC's decision to forward candidates ranked first, fourth, and fifth violated principles of fairness and the Universities Act.
