The institution's Vice Chancellor Phillip Maiyo said the report was "grossly exaggerated".

"There was a little delay, which was however communicated to the staff. As of now there are no pay arrears," he told the Nation.

A week ago, some workers alleged that some of their colleagues were already job hunting due to salary delays at the institution, a claim the VC dismissed.

"The administration is not aware of workers leaving because of salary delays," Prof Maiyo added.
