The Council of Legal Education has called on the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to take action against Moi University for undertaking law classes despite not being given the mandate.
Chief Executive Officer Kulundu Bitonye has said the school of law is incapacitated and cannot effectively deliver the program..
“The Council would like to bring to the notice of the Council and Management of Moi University the provisions of Section 43 and 44 of the Legal Education Act. Section 43 subsection (1) (a) and (c) in particular criminalises false statements, representations, documents or information which are false,” he said.
He further dismissed an earlier statement by Vice Chancellor Laban Ayiro.
Airo maintained that its Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree course meets national and regional standards.
“The press releases issued by the Moi University Council and Vice-Chancellor Prof Laban P. Ayiro on the 22nd, 23rd, and 28th March 2017 are therefore simple and plain falsehoods and are misleading to the public and in particular the students at the Moi University of law,” he said.
