Public universities are staring at another tough year as the Government fails to allocate Sh74 billion to stabilise the institutions.
A number of universities are already reeling under huge debt that has hurt their operations. Universities Fund Board CEO Geoffrey Monari, said that the allocation continue declining with an increased number of government-sponsored students affecting operations and academic programmes.
"For five years, the funding deficit in public universities stands at Sh96.3 billion while that of private ones is Sh24.4 billion. It has gone down from an average of Sh84,217 at 44.86 per cent of the DUC to Sh40,366 at 21.94 per cent," he noted.
