Come to think of it, a friend of mine used to brag around how her daughter is about to graduate from Kabianga University in Kericho, what happened to that institution?? I’ve never heard of it over the last couple of years, did it close shop or what…??
There were the old 7 public universities that used to offer specific courses. For instance, Nairobi was the main university. Moi was a mini-main. KU and Maseno offered Arts. JKUAT was the school of engineering. Egerton offered Agricultural courses and military science. Kenya polytechnic was the mother of all polytechnics while KMTC was just that. There were very few or no parallel programs especially for courses like medicine. The only private universities were Strathmore, USIU, Kabarak and later Daystar university. Graduations were taken very seriously because everyone knew the value of graduates. That was 20 years ago when education was education. Maybe there was need to have more learning institutions but the strategy was wrong.
