The other day there was this Kenyan who was flaunting his academic papers for the public, sijui masters, sijui thesis, sijui what. Obiero, I think was his name. Of course some more pragmatic member of the public challenged him to describe what he has done with those papers.

Until we move from pride, 'recognition' of labels and certificates, those who can will be encumbered by those who talk. An upsetting of the 'natural law'.

EBK is a bunch of old school guys from University of Nairobi who are trying to protect their turf.
Is EBK telling us that UoN has the best facilities for engineering.No I don't think so.UoN is an old institution and therefore you would expect it to have old and outdated equipments.JKUAT which was established recently under the guidance of the Japanese has better equipment and facilities and even the courses ERB is disputing were established under the guidance of the Japanese before they left.
The candidates produced were competitive and better qualified for emerging opportunities and technology.
Thus when the likes of private institutions in the 21st century like Airtel,Safaricom,Ericsson,Huawei opened offices in kenya most of the employees they took were graduates from JKUAT.This didn't go well with the old schools from UoN and through EBK they are now fighting this.
The private institutions have ignored EBK since they don't see any meaningful contribution from it leading to EBK to start throwing tantrums like what we recently seen.
Ask anyone on the streets where do the best engineers in kenya come from and you will get the answer.
I was using JKUAT here as an example.
The EBK guys have arm twisted parastatls not to take graduates who are not registered under EBK but the multinationals and private institutions are paying the "unqualified engineers according to EBK"way much much better than parastatals.
Give me a road that has been built by a registered EBK engineer that lasted and withstood the heavy rains that normally pound the country.

You mean impunity cannot even weld a door properly?

True for JKUAT the Japanese started by recruiting lectures from the national polys this made the training more hands on.
