Kibabii University is under scrutiny after diploma students who completed their studies between 2022 and 2024 raised concerns over delayed graduation certificates, leaving many unable to proceed with employment or further studies.
Radio 47 journalist Bill Miya highlighted the issue after receiving complaints from affected students drawn from several programmes, including Banking and Finance, Accounting, Human Resource Management, Cooperative Management, Business Management, Supply Chain Management, and Project Management.
The students say they completed all academic requirements but are still waiting for their certificates nearly two years later.
They argue that the delay has locked them out of job opportunities and higher education applications.
Some of the graduates report growing frustration, saying the uncertainty has left them stuck at home and unable to move forward with their lives.
A number of them claim they are under pressure from families who expected them to have progressed after completing their studies.
Attention has also been drawn to the university’s examinations and certification office.
Students allege that Madam Ashley Shikoka, who coordinates exams and certificates, has told them she does not have a clear timeline on when the documents will be released, despite the office handling the process.
The situation has sparked further concerns among students who say they were required to pay for missing marks before completing their academic process, yet they still have not received their certificates.
The delays have raised questions about administrative efficiency and communication within the institution, with affected students calling for clear answers and a definite timeline for resolution.
