On the morning of 26th June 2023, students at the Technical University of Kenya convened to protest the increase of school fees by the administration. The students demanded an explanation by the administration on the fees increment. They also demanded an explanation on the de-registration of students on the students’ portal due to missing examination marks.
A fire was lit which led to destruction of property in the institution. The value of the property could not be immediately established. Police engaged in running battles with the protesters as they lobbed tear gas to disperse them.
