UASU demands direct Treasury funding for universities, Sh6.7 billion CBA allocation

UASU Secretary-General Dr Constantine Wasonga raised the concerns while presenting a petition before Parliament, questioning why public universities were expected to depend on student-generated revenue and loans to meet recurrent expenses, including salaries and other employment obligations.Wasonga argued that public universities, being institutions established by law, should receive adequate and timely budgetary allocations from the National Treasury rather than have their ability to meet staff obligations tied to student enrolment and fee collections.
