Why Dedan Kimathi University Students Will Get Only Sh180 Each From Ruto’s Sh1M Donation
The university administration conducted a public participation and 51% of the students voted for the amount to be distributed equally among them.
President William Ruto gifted Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) students Sh1 million. The university will now give each student Sh180 after consulting them on how the money will be shared.
A public participation exercise conducted by the university saw 51 per cent of the students demand the splitting of the cash donation equally among them.
The remaining half was split between those in favour of a bursary proposal and a luncheon.
“Following the outcome of the public participation, it has been decided that every registered undergraduate student during the January-April 2024 semesters including students who are on internal attachment during the semester will be given sh 180,” University’s Director of Students’ Welfare Esther Nthiga said in a memo dated April 9.
Nthinga attached a schedule indicating when students in different classes will claim their share.
The Head of State visited the institution on March 26 and donated the money as a token to the university students.
The Nyeri-based institution said it conducted public participation via Google form.
