The Technical University of Kenya says it remains open despite fake reports about closure. A false letter claimed the school would shut down due to money problems starting April 21. Officials told students that classes would continue as normal. The university confirmed all operations will keep running. They want everyone to ignore the unofficial document shared online.
Parliament recently started investigating TUK's financial troubles, which have affected both staff work conditions. The National Assembly called for a complete review of the university's accounts going back to 2013. This audit will take about three months to finish. Investigators will examine records from when TUK first became a chartered institution. They hope to understand what caused these issues.
The university currently faces a huge Sh12 billion debt problem. Staff members have not received full salaries since 2013. The school pays Sh270 million monthly just for employee wages. TUK also failed to send Sh5 billion of worker deductions to pension funds. These financial challenges come partly from having more employees than the budget can support.
