Kenya-based Kenyatta University (KU) management was Tuesday hard-pressed to explain how it spent around $3.6 million (Ksh370 million) to open a campus in Rwanda without regulatory approvals from authorities in Nairobi and Kigali.
Paul Wainaina, the acting KU vice-chancellor, was put on the spotlight after the Kenyan Parliament's Public Investments Committee (PIC) demanded to know how the university made the investments in Rwanda and Arusha, Tanzania.
