Kenyatta University addresses viral memo urging student couples to move in together
Kenyatta University has addressed a viral memo circulating online that purportedly urged student couples to move in together as a way of easing accommodation shortages at the institution.
The memo claimed that the growing number of students had increased pressure on available accommodation, particularly in areas around the university such as Kahawa, Ruiru and Githurai.
However, in an update on Monday, September 28, Kenyatta University dismissed the letter, warning students and members of the public against treating it as an official communication from the institution.
“Kenyatta University strictly prohibits the creation or dissemination of false, misleading, fabricated, or unauthorised information. The memo currently circulating is AI-generated and is NOT an official Kenyatta University communication,” the institution said.

The university clarified that the document had not gone through its official communication and approval processes and should therefore not be interpreted as reflecting its position on student accommodation or relationships.
“It has not been issued or authorised by the University and does not represent the University’s rules, regulations, policies, procedures, or official position on the sharing of information,” Kenyatta University added.
The institution further urged students and the public to exercise caution when encountering communications attributed to the university circulating on unofficial platforms.
“Members of the University community and the public are therefore urged not to rely on, reproduce, or circulate the contents of the memo as official University information.
“For accurate and authorised information, always verify communications through Kenyatta University’s official communication channels,” the university further said.
