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.
