Crackdown to weed out learners who have overstayed in public universities has kicked off, with the University of Nairobi taking the lead in the exercise that targets 32,000 students.

Deregistration and termination of courses for learners who have overstayed in the institution beyond the required time will start today. “This is to inform all students and staff that pursuant to Section 2.7.2 of the guidelines, the university shall commence the process of deregistration of various categories of students on March 22,” reads the memo.
