More than 225 Mount Kenya University (MKU) students can now breathe a sigh of relief after the High Court nullified a directive by Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale that had sought to discontinue the university’s Bachelor of Science in Oral Health programme.
The ruling, delivered by Justice William Musyoka at the Milimani High Court, found that the Cabinet Secretary acted outside his legal mandate when he issued the directive stopping the programme.
The court further affirmed that the course remains fully accredited and valid under the Commission for University Education (CUE), the only body legally mandated to regulate university academic programmes.
