its worth if you are a teacher/lecturer but to me it isn't worth if you have masters and are poor.

It's only worth it if you're doing it for yourself, from passion and to get the honor that comes with it. But if you're doing it to get a job firstly nobody can ever pay you enough, secondly you'll be over qualified (read a guy with a masters can do it as well) and thirdly, you won't enjoy it. I don't have a PHd but that's what I believe.

BBI will solve it

@ Kelele.com, sorry to hijack your thread.

How much does business related Phd cost in Kenya (on average.

@kelele
Like said, it should be about whether you believe pursuing the Phd will assist you in achieving your ambitions which could include ego anyway.
Consider too the aspect of time, money, opportunity cost et cetera.

And when/if you decide to do one, enroll in an established university like UON. There are some makeshift universities and academically young universities offering Phds without the requisite resources and personnel.

A Phd. from a university like UON is 'solid' but in some departments like Engineering & IT you will be frustrated for like 10 years. I guess it the faculty's way of reducing Phds in the market. Best solution is doing the Phd. outside the country which is tricky if you are self sponsored, your employer is not on board and you have a family!
