Student leaders in Mombasa have revealed their intention to hold demonstrations on Monday in opposition to the recently introduced university funding model.
During a press briefing, the student representatives urged all university students in Mombasa County to participate in the protests, aiming to pressure the government into scrapping the new funding system.
Expressing their discontent, the students criticized the model, labeling it as unfair and harmful, especially to those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
They also encouraged parents to support their cause by joining the protests until the government addresses their concerns.
This announcement follows a similar declaration made by student leaders at the University of Nairobi (UoN) just a week earlier, as they also voiced their opposition to the new funding approach.
