C&P: A public university has lost more than Sh100 million in fees fraud involving students and admission officers.
At least 565 students and an unknown number of staff have so far been implicated in on-going investigations at Moi University in Eldoret, the Nation has established.
In the racket, the officers enrol and issue registration numbers to privately-sponsored students under regular or so-called “mature” programmes that pay less fees.
Normally, a self-sponsored student pays Sh120,000 per year while regular ones pay a subsidised amount of Sh30,000.
However, through the fraudulent registration, the privately-sponsored students, commonly referred to as PSSP or parallel students, end up paying as little as the government-sponsored ones.
This means that the university has been losing close to Sh90,000 per student.
