From K.U To all Comrades... We held a lengthy discussion with Prof Kaimenyi, Dr Belio Kipsang and other Ministry Officials yesterday from 5~7pm. The Student leaders delegation included 3 Secretary Generals of Public Universities and Executive members of National Union of Students Organisation. It was more than evident from the meeting that the ministry HAS NOT sanctioned any FEE INCREAMENT, neither are there plans to do so. Reports going round are misleading and inaccurate. Any such increase must be initiated by University Councils, through a consultative process where stakeholders involved include parliament, senate, Commission for University Education, CCPSB, Students leadership, parents and approved by the ministry. No such process has been Started to this effect. The only process running is determination of maximum differentiated unit Cost for academic programmes, which is not fee increment. In this respect, Any demonstrations today are irrelevant, misplaced and uncalled for. All Students are requested not to participate in any disruptive activities. Let us not allow ourselves to be used by Politicians in their quest to gain Cheap publicity. Regards, Ephraim Wainana Secretary General, KUSA
