Graduates Awarded Sh15m After Failing to Get Jobs with Degree
The High Court awarded Sh15 million to the former University of Nairobi students.
The learners were admitted for engineering courses by the University of Nairobi (UoN) between 2009 and 2011, when Kenya Polytechnic (which later became TUK) was a constituent college of UoN.
They were, however, awarded degrees from TUK, which is not recognised by the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK).
The graduates argued that they were unable to secure jobs because the engineering courses at TUK are not recognised by board(EBK).
In his ruling, Justice James Makau directed TUK to forward the names of the students to UoN to be included in the list of graduates during the next graduation.

If you stop along Kenneth Matiba Road (formerly Accra Road) in Nairobi and ask for Peter Njoroge, no one will assist you. That is because the man who operates tiny office along the busy street is better known by his alias ‘Jahazi’.
Like the popular catchphrase used by Safaricom to allow their customers borrow airtime or bundles, ‘Jahazi’ is popular among hawkers, boda bodas, cart pushers and many others for coming to their rescue thanks to his connection with cops and city county askaris.
