David Ndii, the chairperson of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors, has found himself at the center of an online debate after sharing screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation with a student he supports financially.
While the post was intended to celebrate the student's successful university placement, many Kenyans focused on another issue revealed in the screenshots—several unanswered messages sent months earlier.
Ndii shared the images while commenting on discussions surrounding university admissions through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).
The economist argued that many qualified students were still choosing degree programmes, using the sponsored student's admission as an example.
According to the screenshots, the student had secured admission to Kenyatta University to pursue a Bachelor of Health Services Management.
Ndii congratulated the student and expressed his happiness over the achievement, noting that Kenyatta University had always been among the institutions he admired.
However, social media users quickly noticed older messages in the conversation that appeared to have gone unanswered. In the earlier chats, the student repeatedly reminded Ndii about course selection deadlines and requested his guidance before the KUCCPS portal closed.
