President William Ruto announced the revocation of university admission letters that incorrectly quoted high course fees.

Speaking during a development tour in Bomachoge Chache, Kisii County, on Wednesday, Ruto assured the public that the government is committed to reducing the financial burden on parents as they prepare to send their children to higher education institutions.

“We have increased funds to support the education of our children in TVETs and universities,” Ruto stated. He acknowledged that the initial admission letters, which listed course fees between KES 200,000 and KES 300,000, had caused significant concern among parents and students.

In response to these concerns, Ruto announced a new directive: “I want to assure you that we are issuing a new directive today because the previous letters contained high course charges. We will revoke those letters and start issuing new ones that specify the amount parents are expected to pay.”

This move is part of the government’s broader effort to make higher education more accessible and affordable. To this end, Ruto revealed that the budget for higher education has been significantly increased, rising from KES 45 billion to KES 82 billion.

The additional funds are aimed at providing more financial support to students and alleviating the financial burden on families.

“The earlier letters from universities were misleading as they quoted course costs. We are withdrawing these letters and will provide new ones that accurately reflect the amount parents need to pay, rather than the course fees,” Ruto clarified.

The president emphasized that the new directive is designed to ensure transparency and accuracy in the information provided to parents, helping them better understand their financial responsibilities.
