Kenya’s consumer watchdog, COFEK, has given the Ministry of Education a two-week ultimatum to clarify the accreditation and legal status of Bachelor of Dental Surgery programmes at top public universities across the country.

CS John Mbadi highlights that the long term vision is to minimize supplementary budgets except during genuine emergencies or unexpected economic disruptions. Strong planning systems will support sustainable development and responsible fiscal management nationwide.
CS John Mbadi says ongoing reforms are improving expenditure forecasting and budget realism. The government is working to strengthen fiscal discipline so public spending plans remain predictable, credible and aligned with national objectives.
Statutory procedures require inter-ministerial consultation, not dictatorship. The Health CS completely ignored education regulators to satisfy a few elite. This cartel behavior by online Dentists trying to control academic progression is highly illegal.
CS John Mbadi emphasizes that recent supplementary budgets have largely responded to external shocks including natural disasters, revenue changes, donor project adjustments and global conflicts, rather than weaknesses in government planning processes
@NyaduwaO@StandardKenya If they're different in training,scooe and qualification, then why are you reacting as though a BSc in Oral Health is replacing a BDS? Different cadres serving different roles isn't a new concept in healthcare. Unless, of course, the concern isn't equivalence but territory
@IAmOkothOnyango@1Kagai@Itsheatherke The public trusts professionals because of training, competency standards, licensing, and regulation not because a title sounds prestigious. If fewer years of training automatically made a profession unsafe, half the healthcare workforce wouldn't be allowed near a patient
@NyaduwaO@StandardKenya Oral Health is not a substitute for dental surgery; it's a different pathway with a defined scope of practice. The real question isn't whether they exist, but whether they are properly trained, licensed, and regulated. If regulation is the concern, discuss regulation.
@IAmOkothOnyango If your contribution to the discussion is limited to demanding CVs from strangers while handing out accusations of being 'paid bloggers,' then perhaps the 527/= stipend is not the issue here. Substance beats insinuation every time.If you have a factual counterargument, present it
Writing directly to universities to cancel accredited degrees violates the law. The Health Ministry bypassed the Ministry of Education entirely. We see through the schemes of online Dentists fighting professional growth for mid-level cadres.
The law is clear: professional bodies only register practitioners; they don’t control university curricula. Online Dentists need to stop overstepping their statutory mandates and allow other professionals to grow.
University training programs fall strictly under the Ministry of Education. The Health Ministry has zero power to arbitrarily cancel degrees. Yet online Dentists push this overstep just to suppress clinical medicine and oral health.
