The County Government of Nandi agreed with the University of Nairobi to build a new university to be named after a legendary leader, Koitalel Samoei, killed in 1905 by the colonialists. As of 2014[update] the university was in the process of admitting students to Koitalel Arap Samoei University College for courses to begin in January 2015.[3] The University of Nairobi has budgeted for Sh2 billion from the County Government for the construction according to the County Government of Nandi website.
