The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has attributed the delay in opening its portal for university course applications to an ongoing court case.
Appearing before Members of Parliament on Thursday, February 20, KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Agnes Wahome noted that the delay was also due to a court ruling that declared the new university funding model unconstitutional.
According to Wahome, the judgment delivered on December 20 by Justice Chacha Mwita, which suspended the new funding model, did not provide clear guidance on how to handle students, including those already placed in various courses.
To avert a funding crisis in higher education, Wahome revealed that the placement service had delayed opening its portal for university course applications until the matter is resolved.
