The government has ruled out funding free university education, citing an unaffordable 900 billion shillings cost. This announcement follows concerns raised by members of parliament over potential misuse of funds allocated to government-sponsored students placed in private universities. The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has admitted it cannot track these students, leaving uncertainty about fund distribution. Meanwhile, the university fund board has suspended second-semester disbursements pending a court ruling.
