An
official of the lecturers' union has cautioned universities against increasing
fees without first accounting for the monies they currently receive.
University
Academic Staff Union (Uasu) Secretary General Constantine Wasonga yesterday
said the universities should first reveal how much they collect from students
in privately-sponsored programmes and how it is spent before increasing fees.
He said the money collected by universities remains a top secret even as they
demand additional funding.
"Where
is the money they receive from Module II students? What do they do with it?
They don't even pay staff," he said. He asked for the auditing of the
accounts.
