On Thursday, December 3, education CS George Magoha responded to an outcry from students and parents after a proposal to triple university fees was presented in Parliament.
The CS dismissed the move, claiming that it was not fair to triple the fees.
He also noted that discussions were still ongoing within the executive arm of government before a final amount is settled on.
However, he stated that there might be a need to increase fees, but if that happens, the increase will not be as extreme as previously announced.
“The government of the Republic of Kenya does not wake up and say school fees has been increased four times even though there was a discussion in Parliament.
“I would like to assure them that this is a Covid-19 period and that the executive arm of government is yet to sit, consider and debate the fees. The children are ours and we have a human face,” Magoha stated.
