Six months after he was acquitted of charges of forgery of academic papers, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has been awarded an honorary degree. The degree was awarded by little-known Northwestern Christian University, whose campus was last year flagged by a regulator for offering an unaccredited course.
Mr Sudi received an honorary doctorate degree in leadership Administration and Management at a ceremony held at Eldoret National Polytechnic on Saturday.
The Commission on University Education (CUE) in June last year cautioned the public against enrolling in the university together with the 13 others, noting that it was not accredited to offer the Bachelor of Arts, Bible and Theology.
It is not clear from last year's notification whether the other courses offered by the universities have been approved.
“Members of the public are hereby being noticed that any institution purporting to offer university education in Kenya and does not appear in this list is an illegal entity and is not authorised to operate, “CUE said in the June 27, 2023 notice in the MyGov publication, a weekly publication for all government advertising.
