CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF OFFICE

UASU accused Prof Mbithi of illegally acquiring Kshs 20 million, furniture and office equipment.

Besides, Professor Mbithi failed to pay university workers their outstanding arrears.

Responding to these allegations, Prof Mbithi said he was clean and that the allegations were unfounded.
