From the article:
Kenya has come under pressure from the World Bank to close and merge the cash-strapped public universities and loss-making parastatals in what would see thousands of public servants lose their jobs.  
 
The multilateral financier reckons that Kenya should merge the institutions of higher learning because of duplication of courses and the need to cut spending.
