Former Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (Mmust) Vice-Chancellor Prof. Fredrick Otieno (pictured) is dead.

Prof Otieno suffered a stroke last Thursday at his house in Kisumu where he lived alone. His workers found him unconscious on Friday after breaking the doors.

They rushed him to Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu and then he was later transferred to an Eldoret based hospital where he was admitted.

He has been fighting to have his second term as Mmust VC renewed after his unceremonious exit a year ago.
