Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba has directed the Commission for University Education (CUE) to carry out an audit on the dental training programmes offered by Moi University and the University of Nairobi (UoN).

This follows calls by stakeholders for a scrutiny of what the two universities are offering, he said. “The Commission is required to take note of the contents of the subject letter and render a comprehensive advisory thereon to the ministry, within 14 days from the date hereof.”

Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek) had earlier sued the regulator and the two universities, claiming the institutions had been admitting students to the programmes without accreditation. It argued that CUE must accredit and approve the programmes before they are offered to students.
