Council of Legal Education has once again barred Moi University from offering Law Degree Programmes.
The university has been engaged in legal battles with the council since 2015. On April 4, 2016, High Court Judge George Odunga invalidated the council order prohibiting the university from offering the courses.
Odunga held that the council had overstepped its mandate, thereby allowing Moi University to continue offering the course.
Following the release of the report, Moi University came out strongly against The Council for Legal Education, accusing it of trying to undermine the original decision of the court.
“CLE’s notice is not only illegal as it flies in the face of the findings of the High Court, but also a mischievous attempt at subverting the judgment, against which it has chosen to exercise its right of appeal,” read a statement by Acting Vice Chancellor Professor Laban Ayiro.
