Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) has announced its plans to help the Government curb problems facing Kenyan Universities.
The Opposition compiled a team to probe into the troubles facing Higher learning institutions in the country, in a bid to advice the government on the way forward.
The team, headed by Nominated Senator Agnes Zani, is set to look into issues affecting varsity students including accommodation, accreditation, access to students' loan, admissions among other concerns.
During the unveiling of the plan, CORD leader Raila Odinga criticised the crisis at the institutions, citing that it was unfair for students to suffer for something that was not their fault.
"This is a terrible irresponsibility because you are basically punishing an individual for no crime committed at all." Odinga said.
Odinga added that the team would submit a report to the CORD leadership which would then present recommendations to the Government.
The move comes amid ongoing wrangles in a section of Higher learning institutions that were ordered to close down for failing to meet set standards.
Last week, Moi University School of Law, popularly known as 'Annex', was ordered by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) to issue a closure plan within the next two months after they failed to be accredited by the Quality Assurance and Compliance Committee.
