A report on the probe into the 118 doctorate degrees awarded to students of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) is ready.
The Commission for University Education (CUE) on Monday presented the report to the Ministry of Education pending its release to the public after queries were raised over the awarding.
The fields of science and technology had the least number of doctorate degrees while human resource development had the biggest number produced at 89.
Different stakeholders were concerned with the manner in which the degrees were awarded, thereby forcing the commission to launch a probe into the same.
The graduates risk losing their documents if the commission proves that they were awarded through illegal procedures during JKUAT's 33rd graduation ceremony held on June 21.
The commission undertook investigations into the entire process as it seeks to find out whether the students deserved them or illegal means were used to award them the degrees.
The team confirmed that they toured different campuses across the country before presenting the finding. It remains unclear when the report will be made public.
“The commission’s team of inquiry visited JKUAT's campuses where most of the PhD training took place and undertook strategic engagements and site verification visits,” the statement said as quoted by Daily Nation
The commission’s main mission was to determine whether the set standard procedures were observed.
