Good news for the medical sector. Wish each county could invest in at least one such facility.

But I've heard many criticism of their quality....I wonder if their doctors will be different.

MKu standards compared to other Kenyan universities is at par actually lecturers just cross the road for their next classes.Mwakenya or sneaking notes in the exam room is common in MKU as it is in UON(actually what triggered the strike is related to that) in a few years time 30% of fellows in the interview lobby will be from MKU and a the chair of the interview panel might be from MKU .I encourage what Gicharu is doing by opening the education sector Madiba said it's impossible until someone does it.create room for creativity and innovation and then bring regulation but not the other way round (Mpesa)

What matters most in a university is the faculty i.e the professors/lecturers and the teaching and research facilities. The regulatory authority for university education, i.e the Commission for University Education, must have undertaken a thorough audit of the uni before approving the offering of the medicine course.

its not only MKU we should be concerned about but the quality of graduates from all universities if you take 4 year in school and yet have no idea about the theoretical part of what you learning how expensive will it be for a company to make you fit in the real work environment?

Can you provide a link and anyway, there's nothing wrong with a C+. The entry mark for all universities both public and private is C+. However, the demand/competition for some courses and shortage of facilities and hostels in the universities makes some unis to adjust the grade upwards. Otherwise if we had unlimited facilities, anyone with a C+ would do whatever course they want since they are qualified and have the capacity. BTW many kenyans with C+ fit very well in universities abroad.

This is how the public universities in the US were laughing at Harvard (a private uni), when it started offering law and other courses.
