    "content": "We managed to talk to both the members of the Commission for University Education and members of the Engineering Board. The issue was that there were students who, despite having taken engineering courses at the Technical University of Mombasa, could not be absorbed. This is because the professional body, which is the Engineering Board, said that they had not gone through the specific process. One of the issues was the courses that they had taken. Another issue was that, when the university was accredited, that was done by a mother university. By that time, the Technical University of Mombasa was standing on its own. The issue was, what do we do with these students who already professionally have the paper work but they cannot be accepted within the professionals? At that meeting, we found a way forward, specifically, what the Board will do in due course; First, they told us that they had informed all the universities that they should not offer any university courses for which they have not received specific accreditation for, and they need to engage with the Commission on University Education to ensure that information is given about which courses they can proceed to teach.
