Court stops UoN’s plan to raise fees

The High Court has stopped the University of Nairobi (UoN) management from implementing new fees for doctors pursuing master’s degrees until all stakeholders are consulted.

Although Justice Anthony Mrima rejected the claim by Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists’ Union (KMPUD) that the fees were “astronomical and beyond the reach of many Kenyans”, he agreed with the union that there was no public participation before the university increased the new fees.
