The outgoing Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Education Professor George Magoha has called for an increase in university yearly fees from the current amount.
According to Magoha, the current figure which stands at Shillings 16,000 per year has since become irrelevant as it was set many years ago when the economy was not as bad as it is now.
The outgoing CS said the amount that was set years ago has since lost value.
He added that this amount should be given to the needy students only. The government should only fund the needy cases not every body.
Professor Magoha asked the new government to come up with a sustainable funding model. He also urged lecturers to allow President William Ruto’s government to settle before they start issuing pay increase demands.
