The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, Amnesty International Kenya, and Transparency International Kenya have all called for CPA Spencer Sankale Ololchike’s immediate reinstatement after he was dismissed by Maasai Mara University.
Sankale was the Chief Finance Officer at Maasai Mara University who exposed the graft in the institution in 2019.
In a statement to the press on Tuesday, the lobby groups condemned Sankale’s dismissal by the university council.
“The Maasai Mara University Council, Acting Vice-Chancellor Prof. Onyango Kiche Magak and the University Management appear to continue the process of intimidation and interference of a key state witness in the ongoing Mara Heist case before the High Court.
“We call on you as the University Council to immediately and unconditionally reinstate Spencer Sankale Ololchike,” the lobby groups said
According to the group, Sankale’s dismissal is an attempt to interfere with a state witness in an ongoing legal case.
“It is worrying that this should be happening as a draft internal audit indicates fresh allegations of corruption and mismanagement of public funds by Council members and management,” they said.
“We call on the Ministry of Education to probe further, and should the allegations be proven true, strongly consider immediately disbanding the University Council based on their incompetence in the implementation of their oversight mandate,” the lobby groups added.
