Former The Eldoret National Polytechnic (TENP) Chief Principal Josephat Sawe is back in the education sector.
Sawe had earlier this year resigned from his position at the Eldoret Polytechnic and ventured into politics.
He was seeking to vie for the Elgeyo Marakwet gubernatorial seat, on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket, but lost during the nominations.
After losing in the nominations, Josephat Sawe was among the candidates that conceded defeat and pledged to support the winner who is also the current Elgeyo Marakwet Deputy Governor Wisely Rotich.
And in what might come as a relief to his education career, after failing in his political debut, Sawe has now been appointed a member of the Kisii University Council.
In a Gazette notice no. 8054, Cabinet Secretary for Education Prof. George Magoha confirmed the former Eldoret Polytechnic Chief Principal’s appointment.
He will serve as a member of the Kisii University Council for three years.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 36 (1) (d) of the Universities Act, 2012, the Cabinet Secretary of Education appoints – JOSEPHAT KIPSOY SAWE as a member of the Council of Kisii University, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from 8th July 2022,” rea part of the notice.
Josephat Sawe replaces Stephen Kirwa Bittok, whose appointment has been revoked.
Bittok served as the Member of Parliament for Mosop Constituency, in Nandi County from 2013 to 2017.
