Prof. Kiplagat Kotut - VC, Moi University

Prof. Kiplagat Kotut distinguishes himself as the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Moi University through his mandate as a strategic crisis-turnaround leader and sustainability pioneer. Taking over executive leadership during a critical transition period for the historic institution, he has bypassed conventional administrative preservation in favor of bold, structural recovery. His distinct edge is blending intensive institutional reorganization with eco-innovation; he has aggressively championed large-scale renewable energy blueprints such as a 30 MW solar power plant initiative to drastically slash operational deficits. Operating with decades of deep-rooted experience in the higher education sector, Prof. Kotut treats academic management not as mere bureaucracy, but as an active, resilient business incubation process necessary to restore global competitive status
