The announcement was meant of Friday during the 44th graduation ceremony.

"We received instructions on the same and KU is already working on closing the campus,” acting Vice-Chancellor Prof Wainaina said.

The Tanzania Commission for Universities stopped KU, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (Jkuat), Kampala International University College and 16 others from admitting students over failure to meet quality standards.
