Moi University has announced a public auction for a number of items, including dogs whose reserve price has been placed at Sh40,000.
The auction is scheduled for Thursday, June 24, 2025, and will start at 9:30 a.m. at the Main Campus in Kesses, Nairobi, at the institution's Transport Department yard and Farm yard.
Moi University said the variety of surplus assets will be sold to the highest bidders.
In a notice dated June 16, 2025, the institution said the items on auction include motor vehicles, livestock, dogs, used tyres, and other assorted equipment.
The university will dispose of a German Shepherd at a reserved price of Sh 40,000.
Among other high-value items to be sold is a Toyota Hilux pick, with a reserve price of Sh 350,000.
The livestock section includes well-bred bulls and bull calves with reserve prices ranging between Sh 7,000 to Sh 70,000.
In addition, donkeys will also be under the hammer, each going from Sh 9,000 to Sh 15,000.
Used tyres will also be up for grabs in one lot, with a reserve price of Sh 12,000. Pigs will also be auctioned at a retailing price of Sh 3,500 to Sh 5,000.
Interested bidders are required to register between 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. on the auction day, and viewing will be allowed on June 20 and 23, 2025, from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. at the storage points.
To participate, bidders must pay a refundable deposit of Sh 20,000 for the motor vehicle or Sh 2,000 for other items to obtain a bid number.
The auction will be conducted on an “as-is-where-is” basis.
All items will be sold on a cash basis at the fall of the hammer.
The highest bidder shall be declared the purchaser and will be required to settle the auction amount immediately.
Failure to do so will lead to forfeiture of the deposit, the notice signed by Vice-Chancellor, Prof Kotut Kiplagat.
The university emphasised that canvassing is strictly prohibited, and the sale will only proceed if the reserve prices are met.
