The high court temporarily suspended the implementation of the new university funding model.
The model faced opposition from different stakeholders, including university students and a section of leaders, Kenya human rights commission and Elimu bora working group who filed a case in court last year to stop the government from implementing the mode.
This were the reforms president William Ruto made in education sector, by introducing five system of banding that placed students in different categories.
Those from low earning families will receive full funding inform of scholarships, while less needy students will get less funding inform of scholarships, thus receiving more loans.
Students across different universities staged protests opposing the model, alleging that it is expensive and wanted the government to explain the criteria they used. They also accused president William Ruto for not allowing public participation before it was set to be implemented.
Protests and complaints from the University students’ parents and a section of leaders led to the formation of a committee comprising 129 stakeholders; with a task of reviewing the model and address all the concerns raised.
The high court stopped the implementation of the model waiting for the case to be heard on December this year.
