Rein in fraud by varsities Thursday July 29 2021 By BUSINESS DAILY Summary The High Court has ordered the University of Nairobi to award degrees to 75 former students whom it will also pay Sh15 million for leaving them in the lurch. The individuals were admitted for engineering courses between 2009 and 2011 by the UoN but were later, against their expectation, awarded degrees by Technical University of Kenya (TUK), then a constituent college. As it turned out, certifications from TUK are not recognised by the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK), frustrating the graduates’ efforts to embark on a career in their chosen field. The High Court has championed the rights of students by ordering the University of Nairobi to award degrees to 75 former students whom it will also pay Sh15 million for leaving them in the lurch.
