Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ezekiel Machogu has announced a freeze on new projects in public universities until those that have been stalled are completed.
Appearing before the National Assembly Public Investment Committee to answer questions about university funding, the CS stated that beginning this year, all qualified students will be placed in public universities unless their parents choose to send them to private universities.
In such a case, no government funds will be channelled to private universities for students who forego their slots at public universities.
