Inside State's new plan to curb fake degrees, colleges

The Commission for University Education (CUE) is working on a comprehensive policy document to address the growing menace of fake degree certificates, particularly associated with religious organisations, where unaccredited theological institutions continue to operate illegally.

The move follows increasing public concern over the misuse of academic titles. CUE Chief Executive Officer Prof Mike Kuria told the National Assembly Committee on Education that although the commission had already shut down several rogue institutions, some have resurfaced under new names or relocated to different areas.
