The new deal between the government of Kenya and private varsities that will see the institutions admit government sponsored students will flop if tuition fee is not adequately settled. Whereas the government pays Sh70,000 for each student in public universities per year, this money is a drop in the ocean to even sustain a student for one trimester in any private university in Kenya!
About 10,000 candidates who sat their Form Four examination in 2015 will receive government sponsorship in private universities thanks to Universities Act 2012.
