Many universities in Kenya are experiencing serious financial distress. Several are unable to meet basic operational costs, including paying salaries, while some are effectively insolvent—unable to settle their debts or remit statutory deductions.

It is widely recognised that the success or failure of development in any society is closely tied to politics. Politics revolves around negotiation, competition, and sometimes conflict, particularly in the production, distribution, and use of resources.

The recent protests and unrest in Kenya may give the impression that the country is experiencing a political crisis. Some political leaders have even gone so far as to call for international mediation, likening the current situation to the 2007–08 post-election crisis that led to Kofi Annan’s intervention.
