Admittedly, lecturing in Kenyan universities lost its allure a long time ago, principally because the remuneration lecturers get is hardly worth the effort. As a result of poor pay, there has been brain drain at a level that sees Kenyan lecturers seek jobs in foreign universities. Kenyan universities are also stifled by lack of funding for research work. It is the quality of research work a university does that determines its standing among institutions of higher learning, with the positive attribute that it motivates lecturers. There is no shortage of talent locally, and this behooves the Government to invest more in our universities.
