The Committee engaged the Ministry of Defence led by PS, Hon. Patrick Mariru to provide details.

The invitation follows over a year of investigations into allegations of misconduct, of human rights violations, environmental degradation and other alleged human rights violations attributed to BATUK personnel.

Julius Melly, met with Moi University’s Acting Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kiplagat and Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor Loice Maru to interrogate the status of ongoing institutional reforms, the University’s Sh8.8 billion debt burden, union dues arrears, and the looming closure of its Coast Campus.
