Professional bodies must stop ‘harassing’ universities

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has cautioned professional bodies against creating chaos in universities by inciting students over programmes' accreditation, writes Augustine Oduor for the Standard.

He said the insistence by the agencies that they would not recognise certain degree certificate holders has created anarchy that should not be tolerated. Matiang'i said the Commission for University Education is the sole programmes accreditation body and asked the professional institutions to work with it.

Write to them and officially complain to them," said Matiang'i. He said professional bodies are important players who must also act professionally.
