President William Ruto ordered the withdrawal of all admission letters issued to students without using the newly developed needs-assessment tool, which will determine the fees each learner is required to pay.

He cautioned vice chancellors of public universities against what he described as unfair practices in informing students about the fees they must pay before enrolling in their respective colleges.

Ruto accused the management of various public universities of attempting to manipulate students regarding the fees they should pay, which he deemed a scheme to disadvantage less privileged learners. He pointed out that the letters he ordered to be retracted were incorrectly prepared, as universities issued fee structures that did not consider individual students’ financial capabilities.

The President stated that each learner should receive a customized admission letter tailored to their family’s financial needs, clearly indicating the exact amount they will be required to pay in fees.

“I am asking all VCs to ensure the right letters have been issued and every parent is given information on how much their children are going to pay,” Ruto said.

While addressing various public meetings where he launched numerous development programs in various places in Kisii and Nyamira counties, the President warned against anyone who will not heed
to the new system of customizing fee structures according to the newly development fee assessment tool.

“Those vice chancellors should be part of the solutions but not part of the problems. They should issue the right letters which we have validated with the new needs assessment tool according to financial ability.

He also cautioned Vice Chancellors against inciting students to resort to violence as a means of opposing certain government policies. Ruto ordered that no college administrator should withhold any information regarding fee payments for university entrants, following allegations of foul play in some higher learning institutions.

This directive will extend to all Technical and Vocational Training Colleges as well as universities.

The President issued this stern warning at all venues he addressed during his final day of a three-day development tour of the Gusii Region. In Borabu, Nyamira County, he spoke to residents after launching a 61-kilometer security ring road connecting Bomet, Nyamira, and Narok counties.
