Beware of Foreign Degrees: CUE warns.

The Commission for University Education- CUE, has warned students to be wary of foreign degrees. Speaking at Eldoret Polytechnic, CUE secretary, Prof. David Some, said that some students were being duped into enrolling in fake colleges overseas. Cases of fake colleges have been on the increase.


Last year, Daily Nation reported that Kampala International University degrees could not be accepted in
Kenya, a matter that the university vehemently disputed.

At around the time of elections, Bishop Dr. Margaret Wanjiru was banned from contesting for the Nairobi Governor’s seat, as CUE could not verify whether her theology degree from a US college was genuine.

In 2011, Ahadi Kenya trust chairman Stanley Kamau found himself in hot soup, after the US University he had received a honorary degree from was supposedly ‘fake’.
