University of Nairobi Vice Chancellor Peter Mbithi has cautioned students and staff against engaging in politics.
Mbithi said that anybody found engaging in party politics within the institution will be expelled.
"We are going to resist very firmly both our staff and students (engaging in active politics) because that is what is good for the university. We remain apolitical, and pursue academics. We shall do our best and we shall succeed," said Mbithi.
Mbithi was speaking on Friday during the orientation of first year students.
He added that despite being an elections year, the university remains a learning institutions.
"We all know this is a political year but remember that University is a learning institution not a political institution and if you want to engage in politics while still a member of this institution then think twice because we as the institution will not welcome you here."
