Government Flags 15 Institutions Offering Fake Degrees & Diplomas[LIST]

The Commission for University Education (CUE) has flagged 15 institutions for offering degree and postgraduate programmes without accreditation.

Through a notice, issued on Tuesday, March 11, in the government publication MyGov, these institutions are operating illegally and that their degrees will not be recognised in Kenya.

The commission outlined that the flagged universities and colleges are operating without a grant of authority.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and CUE officials raided Northwestern Christian University’s graduation ceremony in Mombasa, citing the institution’s lack of accreditation.

The institutions include;

1. Grace Life Bible College – Vihiga
2. Africa Theological Seminary – Kitale
3. Regions Beyond Ministry Bible College – Thika
4. Baraton College – Kapsabet
5. The Africa Talent University – Kisumu
6. Breakthrough Bible College – Nairobi
7. Theophilus Theological College – Kiambu
8. Northwestern Christian University – Kakamega
9. Logos University – Kakamega
10. Harvest Land University – Kisumu
11. Word of Faith Bible College – Vihiga
12. Kenya Anglican University-Kanyuambora – Embu
13. The East African University Bradgate International University – Nyeri
14. Eldoret Bible College – Uasin Gishu
15. Al-Munawwarah College – Mombasa

The CUE has cautioned students enrolled in these institutions since they risk having their qualifications rejected by both employers and other academic institutions.

CUE stated, “Any institution operating as a university or degree-awarding body that does not appear on the Commission’s list of approved institutions is illegal, and their degree qualifications will not be recognised in Kenya.”
