Can you sue your University for delaying your graduation? The Court of Appeal has answered.
In Technical University of Kenya v Charles Kaindo Kuria & 20 Others (Civil Appeal No. 596 of 2019), the Court of Appeal held that the Technical University of Kenya violated the students' right to fair administrative action under Article 47 of the Constitution after its administrative failures delayed their graduation when a lecturer disappeared with examination scripts.
The Court affirmed that universities have a constitutional duty to manage students' academic affairs efficiently and within a reasonable time. Institutional inefficiency, poor record management and bureaucratic inertia cannot be used to justify placing students' careers, professional admissions and employment opportunities on hold.
@joshuamalidzo We have seen this kind of excitement before, then it suddenly fades. Sifuna has a long way to go before building the networks and machinery he needs to propel him to the Presidency. And time isn't on his side.
@DavisThuranira Thanks for the information. I prosecuted this case. I didn't know the judgement is out. I have been waiting for the appeal judgement for almost a year.

This guy was a top lecturer & the Dean of the Faculty of Law at UON for 25 yrs.
He was active in pro-democracy movement in the 1990s before being elected Member of Parliament for Makueni in 2002, he subsequently served as a Cabinet Minister & later as a presidential adviser under Mwai Kibaki.
In 2013 he became the first Governor of Makueni County & served two terms until 2022. His leadership was widely recognized for strong public participation, prudent financial management, universal healthcare initiatives & agricultural value-addition projects.
After serving so well he then quietly returned to class in 2024 to teach law.
If we were looking for a good president in 2022, this was the guy.β
@ahmednasirlaw State of the Judiciary and Administration of Justice Report 2024 - 2025. I didn't understand the 104% case clearance rate. Also, they say 1 year old and above cases are about 177,000.
@bkairu5@Honeyfarsafi Good point Ben Kairu, the Sachang'wan, Salgaa problem wasn't solved by prayers, redesigning of the road did the magic. Don't be shocked even tonight some stupid "matron" or boarding master will lock some dorm from the exterior.
@RachelNyaruai@polo_kimanii Polo Kimani, too much explanation ya nini? We have already delivered judgement on this case. @Mwafreeka is guilty of stupidity. We shall deliver the sentence in due time.
@FaithOdhiambo8 Good move by the High Court, sex among teenagers shouldn't lead to 20-year prison terms! The police and ODPP should simply apply common sense as we wait for further legislation on this issue.
