Eldoret, Kenya: Moi university school of law students have issued a 48-hour-ultimatum to the Council of Legal Education (CLE) to apologise over the decision they made ordering closure of the institution for not meeting the required standards.

The enraged students led by its officials maintained that they will then seek legal redress for defamation if CLE fails to withdraw their report on the school.

The student chairman Khalende Wabwire took issue with the report by CLE and questioned why they based their findings on infrastructure instead on focusing on quality of education.

“There is no way our institution shall be closed, CLE went overboard by choosing to measure our credibility based on the infrastructural inadequacy,” said Wabwire.

He termed the report as malicious and untrue and maintained that if the council does not apologise, they will seek legal redress for defamation.
