Dr.Matiangi’s proposal to audit all degree qualifications is timely

The University of Nairobi’s deregistration of Meru Senator’s academic credentials after investigations by the EACC unearthed forgery in his prior entry qualifications, has yet again brought to the fore the need for a thorough audit of degree qualifications as well as the quality control and security systems of the entire university examination process.

If the said audit is to be conducted by the Commission of University Education (CUE) in respect of locally acquired qualifications, then it behoves them to extend the exercise to foreign qualifications as well.
