The chairman of Vice Chancellors of Public Universities, Prof Geoffrey Muluvi, said during the meeting that was attended with the Treasury and parliamentary committee on education that universities were struggling to be operational and while managing debts owed to staff and other government entities. Universities have accrued unremitting statutory payments to KRA, pension scheme dues, insurance premiums, Sacco contributions, NHIF and NSSF. The total amount owned by September 2020 is about Sh37.3 billion, most of which is to KRA, said Prof Muluvi.
