    "content": "If our universities together with TTIs will channel out people who are not well versed with the job trends and requisite qualifications for placements, then we do not have a remedy. If we are killing our universities, the University of Nairobi (UoN) to boot, which has brought so many people into the lime light…Very many people went through this most prestigious university of our country. A university that ranks so highly in Africa and internationally but just because of poor management and the appetite for corruption, we are killing the UoN. It is a travesty and this must be looked into. If it is about management, we still have men and women out here who are qualified to run these universities. Let us put them into the universities and bring them back to life. When we were going to school, any person who got admission into a private school was a failure. In fact, we used to call them harambees to simply mean they belonged to people who are not government. The government institutions were the in-thing and each time we got letters from government institutions, we definitely knew that we had passed exams. How it turned around that private institutions do better than public ones is a wonder. It is the government that comes up with regulations. If we allow private institutions to fester, then who will control the fees that have to be paid? If we kill our public universities and only allow private universities to thrive, who will afford education in these private universities?"
