Over 133 academic programs offered by universities in Kenya have been rejected by Commission for University Education, Kenyatta University had four of them.
In awaiting for students pursuing the courses is a fruitless job hunting expedition as employers were warned against hiring holders of the programs.
Last week, CUE released a shocking report that exposed the lot in the higher education. The 133 coursed rejected had 10,000 slots slated for them, some of which are already taken while others await admission.
While releasing the report, CEO for CUE Mwenda Ntarangwi warned employers to be wary of academic certificates bearing such courses and advised them not to recognize them.
The heads of the institutions offering the courses accused CUE of insensitivity as the courses were already being taught.
During the audit that produced the report, CUE slashed almost 30,000 slots from institutions that had already secured admissions for new students.
Tom Mboya university had most of the rejected programs, standing at 25. Moi University was found to be offering three of those programs.
