Reprieve for over 225 students after the High Court quashed a directive by Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale seeking to discontinue Mount Kenya University’s Bachelor of Science in Oral Health programme.
In a judgment delivered by Justice William Musyoka of the Milimani High Court ruled that Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale acted without legal authority when he issued an order directing Mount Kenya University to discontinue its Bachelor of Science in Oral Health programme.
“Consequently, the 1st respondent (Health CS Duale) has no power, under the Universities Act, to order discontinuance of a degree programme of a university in Kenya,” ruled Justice Musyoka.
