Sham honorary degrees that bring dishonour to countries

A gentleman who holds a university degree known as "Bachola of MBA" has recently shared his curriculum vitae with me. He says that he is a guru in strategic business management. He is also an outstanding accountant. He would like me to help him get a job, anywhere where his training and experience could be useful.

But this Bachola of MBA thing? What is it? They had not introduced that one when I did my bachelor stuff at the University of Nairobi, more than a generation ago. Or, maybe, it is just one of those things from Jamaica, where my acquaintance says he studied. Maybe "Bachelor" has only been written in Jamaican creole or patois? In which case there must be a degree that translates into English as 'Bachelor of Master of Business Administration'?
