Why the issue of ‘invalid’ courses should be addressed urgently

Last year the Supreme Court of Kenya determined a case which pitied graduates of engineering courses. The apex court overturned the court of appeal’s decision of handing the engineers registration board a win thus rendering the graduates ‘useless’.

In its decision, the court ordered the ERB to register the graduates from Moi University, Egerton University and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, besides paying the affected students Ksh. 200,000 and an interest. However, the students had already been wasted in a way, since they had stayed for a decade without registration.
