15 universities offering fake Degrees & Diplomas - CUE

In a notice, the CUE cautioned Kenyans that academic certificates offered by the institutions will be deemed fake. 

The institutions listed are Eldoret Bible College, Al-Munawwarah College, Grace Life Bible College, Africa Theological Seminary, Kenya Anglican University, The East African University Bradgate International University, Eldoret Bible College, 

Others are Regions Beyond Ministry Bible College, Baraton College, The Africa Talent University, Breakthrough Bible College, Theophilus Theological College, Northwestern Christian University, Logos University, Harvest Land University and Word of Faith Bible College. 

Further, the Commission listed 79 institutions authorised to operate in Kenya, ranging from public and private universities to private university constituent colleges and institutions with letters of interim Authority. 

"For the avoidance of doubt, any institution operating as a university or degree awarding and which does not appear on the Commission's list of approved institutions is illegal and their degree qualifications will not be recognised in Kenya," the notice read in part. 

The notice comes weeks after police officers and CUE officials raided Northwestern Christian University's graduation ceremony in Mombasa due to a lack of accreditation. 

Consequently, 100 degrees were cancelled and the university's officials were arrested. 

Following the raid, CUE chair Prof. Chacha Nyaigotti reaffirmed the commission's mandate to crack down on illegal institutions nationwide. 

“When we find you (institutions) parading yourselves as legitimate institutions offering programs that give out master’s degrees and bachelor's degrees, then it is our duty to bring an end to this violation of the law," he said.
