“These campuses brought a lot of benefits in the country because services were brought closer to students and cut the extra education upkeep budget,” he noted.
He appealed to the Cabinet Secretary for Education Julius Ogamba to revive the creation of university campuses in towns as a way of decongesting universities.
The MP was addressing the public outside Nyamira High Court.
