Kiama also extended congratulations to the incoming group of students, emphasizing that they had chosen a top-notch institution for their education. He announced that the upcoming graduation ceremony would be held in person, departing from the virtual celebrations necessitated by the pandemic.
Kiama’s sabbatical, initially planned until the end of January 2024, started on August 1. During his absence, Professor Julius Ogengo served as the acting Vice Chancellor.
Kiama had taken this leave because he hadn’t used his accumulated leave days for a considerable time.
It’s worth noting that Professor Kiama assumed the role of University of Nairobi Vice Chancellor in January 2020, with a five-year term that is set to conclude in 2025.
