The push by universities to increase fees has hit a dead end after the government disowned any such plans.
University Education Principal Secretary Simon Nabukwesi said a meeting held between higher education stakeholders agreed that any fees increment be shelved until after 2022.
When asked about the increments already effected by some universities, Nabukwesi said: “This is a lie because no one has sanctioned such a move to increase fees across board. Whatever is happening at the University of Nairobi is internal.”

Vice-chancellors have questioned a move by the Ministry of Education to set up a team to investigate financial challenges facing their institutions, terming it a waste of time.
The VCs argue that the problems facing institutions of higher learning have over the years been adequately deliberated by stakeholders, documented and suggestions made on way forward.
The VCs say their last meeting in Mombasa, which was attended by officials from the National Treasury and Ministry of Education, and MPs drew solid action plans, complete with timelines for implementation.
