Lecturers from the University of Nairobi have opposed a proposal by vice-chancellors to hike fees. The University Academic Staff Union UoN chapter secretary George Omondi said it's useless to increase fees yet the management is misusing funds on unnecessary costs. He said the university management, for instance, hires tents for up to Sh200,000 per day yet the institution has enough halls to host events. He said the vice-chancellors reached the decision to hike fees without holding public participation as per the Constitution.
