The High Court in Nakuru extended orders directing Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) and the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) to allow students who secured admission to continue with their studies.
The two institutions have been tussling over who should admit new students and the standoff has seen KMTC rejecting admission of some students selected by KUCCPS.
Justice Anthony Ndung’u extended the orders after State counsel Kiprotich Kirui successfully applied for more time to allow Parliament to provide directions through the passing of the Universities Act.
The bill outlines who is mandated to admit students to public colleges such as KMTC. More time In an application before court, the AG urged the court to allow his office more time to settle the dispute through a written law after negotiations from both parties to loosen their grounds hit a snug.
According to lawyer Steve Biko for KUCCPS, his clients rights to education have been violated as no student has been admitted to the college. The matter was slated for hearing on March 29.
