The seizure last week by auctioneers of the assets belonging to the Technical University of Kenya (TUK) over a paltry Sh41 million debt it owes a lecturers’ union is not only shameful but also exposes the financial mess at the institutions of higher education.
The seizure of the institution’s property follows the University Academic Staff Union’s lawsuit against TUK, including Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology, University of Nairobi, Kisii University, Egerton University, Moi University and Kenyatta University demanding Sh123 million in unremitted union dues.
