Brace yourself for a broke future, Suda to universities

Universities have been solicited to consider sacking some from their non-basic staff since the government subsidizing has declined.

Higher Education Principal Secretary Collete Suda noted Friday that the enrollment rate to parallel courses had declined radically, subsequently the requirement for an audit of means of survival.

“You need to endure … that calls for striking choices,”


Prof Suda said at Safari Park amid a gathering of university heads and education committee of parliament.

The committee chairperson Julius Melly requested that colleges put accessible assets into appropriate utilization for normal running of activities.

Last year October, a few state-funded universities confronted financial emergencies following the state’s choice to diminish subsidizing to the 31 universities by Sh1 billion.

Kenyatta University, Cooperative University of Kenya and Multi-Media University are among the schools hit hardest by
the finaciaal cut, as indicated by Auditor-General Edward Ouko in a report presented to the National Assembly.

Around the same time, Deputy President William Ruto reported that colleges would get subsidizing dependent on development, look into and the nature of their alumni, in an offer to urge them to offer applicable courses.
