Court Orders Maseno University to Pay Graduand and Reconsider Results

Maseno University has been ordered by the Milimani High Court to pay David Ayieko Ougo KSh800,000 for violating his rights to education and fair administrative action.

The university erased Ougo's academic record, denying him his degree since December 2022. The court ruled that this decision was unconstitutional and ordered the university to determine afresh the validity of Ougo's examination results within 60 days.

The university must serve Ougo with written notice of its concerns, provide him with relevant documents, and grant him an oral hearing. If his results are verified, the university must issue him an academic transcript and include him in its next graduation list.
