Moi University students who were left out of the graduation
ceremony on Thursday august 22, 2019 will be paid for the frustration they
underwent.

According to a Mombasa court order, the affected 700 students should each be paid Ksh 50, 000.

While delivering the
verdict, Justice Pauline Nyamweya criticized the university for excluding the
students from the graduation list.

She directed the management to compensate the 13 students who
took the matter to court on behalf of the affected lot.

Nyamweya explained that
failure of the university to include the students on the list violated their
rights and denied them freedom form psychological torture and fair administrative
action contrary to the constitution.

She ruled that the institution’s decision
violated the learners’ legitimate expectations.

The ruling read in part, “An order is hereby issued granting
each of the petitioners herein an award of Ksh 50, 000 as nominal damages for
infringement of their rights as provided for in the constitution.”

The petitioners argued that they were left out of the graduation
list yet they had completed their studies.

On the other hand, the university
said the affected students had fee arrears and missing marks, and they would
graduate in December after they fix the issues.
