KNUT Demands Completion and Upgrade of Koitalel Samoei University.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Nandi branch has urged the government to expedite the completion and upgrade of Koitalel Samoei University College in Nandi County.
The union expressed frustration over the institution’s stalled progress despite the availability of over 400 acres of land and annual allocations of substantial funds.
Boniface Tenai, the Nandi East/Tinderet branch Executive Secretary, emphasized the importance of prioritizing the project.
He noted emerging reports of other universities planning to establish campuses in the county, questioning the rationale behind such initiatives when Koitalel Samoei University remains incomplete.
Tenai highlighted that Koitalel Samoei University College is locally owned and would significantly benefit students in the county by offering accessible higher education.

Tenai vowed that KNUT, as a key stakeholder, would persist in demanding the project’s completion, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the issue.
