Several universities, including the University of Nairobi, are awaiting the renewal of their licences to continue offering legal education programmes after the Council of Legal Education (CLE) listed their applications as still under consideration.

According to the Council's Chief Executive Officer, Busalile Jack Mwimali, the affected institutions have submitted applications for licensing or renewal, but the Council is yet to conclude the evaluation process required under the Legal Education Act.

Among the universities whose applications remain under consideration for the renewal of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme are the University of Nairobi School of Law, Egerton University Faculty of Law, African Nazarene University School of Law, Moi University School of Law, Rongo University School of Law, Kenya Methodist University School of Law, Murang'a University School of Law and Kabarak University School of Law. Mount Kenya University is also awaiting approval for its Master of Laws (LLM) programme.
