The University of Nairobi, like other public universities, has found itself in a debt trap blamed on drops in government funding and students enrolling for the self-sponsored or parallel degree programmes.
Its debts, including taxes and statutory deductions, are estimated to be more than Sh34 billion. Vice-Chancellor Stephen Kiama, the man tasked with turning around the fortunes of the institution, says the challenge is all about the sustainability of the university.
