By BRIAN MUREITHIMore by this AuthorParents of students admitted to the United States International University (USIU)-Africa under the government-sponsored programme are up in arms for what they claim are high additional fees charged by the university. They claimed that the fees are way too high for them and want the government to intervene and transfer them to other universities. According to one parent, Mr Patrick Sumba, USIU-Africa informed them that they were to pay an additional Sh65,000 before admission per semester. Mr Sumba lamented that the university has made it mandatory for the students to learn in trimesters yet the government sponsors students for two semesters. The university, however, maintains the students have to pay the extra charges as the university cannot sustain them.
