Wainaina was reacting to a decision by Tanzania Commission for University (TCU) which barred it from admitting students in Tanzania beginning September.

"We received written instructions on the same and KU was already working on the process of closing the campus, which is still ongoing and will be completed in due course," the acting VC was quoted by the Standard.

Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (JKUAT) was also part of the list that was barred from admitting students alongside 19 other institutions.

Meanwhile, 20 companies from Kenya have been blocked from accessing the Tanzanian market despite last week’s deal to lift restrictions between bother countries.
