The push by universities to increase fees has hit a dead end after the government disowned any such plans.
University Education Principal Secretary Simon Nabukwesi said a meeting held between higher education stakeholders agreed that any fees increment be shelved until after 2022.
When asked about the increments already effected by some universities, Nabukwesi said: “This is a lie because no one has sanctioned such a move to increase fees across board. Whatever is happening at the University of Nairobi is internal.”
