Court rejects students' plea

The High Court has declined to stop Egerton University’s graduation ceremony scheduled for tomorrow after 14 students from the institution filed a case to have it halted.

The students want the graduation stopped because their names are missing from the graduation list.

Drawn from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the students, through lawyer Mbugua Karanja, yesterday petitioned Justice Anyara Emukule to put the ceremony on hold until their names are included, saying they had complied with all the requirements.

The judge instead gave the university more time to respond to the allegations.
