The target in this was to build a Technical College in Nairobi which would offer training and preparing at the expert and semi-expert levels for the three East African domains of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika. It was then imperative that in each of the domains there ought to be understudies sufficiently qualified to join RTCEA. While Uganda and Tanganyika made tech¬nical establishments in Kampala and Dar es Salaam to get ready contender toward link RTCEA, Kenya quite chosen toward there good group streams under the name Kenya Technical In¬stitute (KTI) at RTCEA.

By 1960 anyway, it had been chosen that Royal Technical College of East Africa ought to grow its order to offer degrees. Consequently in 1960, the RTCEA was conceded the order to offer degrees of the University of London under an extraordinary game plan.
