THE STANDARD EDUCATION University of Nairobi Vice-Chancellor Prof Kiama Gitahi briefing journalists on the Institutional Reforms at the UON on July 9, 2021.[Jonah Onyango,Standard] 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.”
