The University of Baraton has sued three individuals for suspecting them to have run a documentary that exposed corruption, impunity and nepotism at the University of East Africa, Baraton.
The documentary dubbed UEAB ROGUE STEWARDSHIP had garnered 10,000 views on Youtube before it was removed from Youtube in what looked like intimidation and bullying of the whistleblowers through courts.
In orders issued by D. W Mburu, a Milimani law courts senior principal magistrate, the whistleblowers are ordered to delete the documentary in what that looked like being found guilty even before the case starts.
Corrupt individuals have found it easy to hide behind courts of law where they seek orders demanding deletion of whistleblower content even before matters come to a conclusion to determine if something is defamatory or not.
The orders, further state that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations should help in the implementation of the orders requiring the whistleblowers to delete the video despite the fact that the case is civil no warranting the involvement of DCI officers.
The editor of this website is trying to investigate and know the officers who were asked to implement these orders and try to understand why they are implementing civil matters, something completely outside their mandate.
In the 17-minute YouTube documentary, the narrator gives a detailed report of how mismanagement, corruption, tribalism and nepotism have led the private coeducational Seventh-day Adventist institution down a long road of instability and financial struggle.
Church politics have also been strongly linked to the woes currently facing UEAB, with a section of its leaders accused of claiming full ownership of their respective positions as territories.
The viral video also addressed how the once well-established private university that prides itself in holding the first charter from the government of Kenya has slowly degraded into a shell of its former self to the extent of begging for funds from well-wishers.

The whistleblowers were sued by Prof. Philip Maiyo, Christopher Maiyo and Philemon Birechi who have been highly mentioned as the masterminders of the fall of Baraton.
After the editor of this website saw the documentary, having been in this media industry for long, I knew the whistleblowers would be intimidated or sued to delete hence why we downloaded and uploaded it afresh to a free speech video platform Rumble.
Baraton University is a public institution and the institution should have publicly responded to the issues raised instead of bullying the whistleblowers using courts and DCI to delete the documentary.
We urge all Baraton university students, teaching staff and non-teaching staff to send their concerns to [email protected]. You can use the anonymous disposable email https://www.guerrillamail.com/ to contact the editor of this website.
