Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has threatened to withdraw charters of universities that graduate politicians who have not met academic thresholds. He said the institutions –public or private – found to have relaxed strict academic standards to enable politicians graduate will be punished.

"The government will not allow situations where politicians rush to learning institutions and graduate to enable them contest various seats," said Matiangi. He further put on notice universities and colleges offering 'funny' programmes.
