Deputy President William Ruto Defends His PhD Thesis at the University of Nairobi

Deputy President William Ruto on Wednesday defended his PhD thesis at the University of Nairobi (UON).

Ruto's thesis focuses on the impact of human activities on riparian reserves at Saiwa Swamp, Trans-Nzoia County.

"This morning, at the University of Nairobi, School of Biological Sciences, I defended my PhD thesis: Influence of Anthropogenic Activities on Land Use/Cover Changes and Environmental Quality of Saiwa Wetland Watershed, Western Kenya," Ruto says in a post on Facebook.

Last year, the Deputy President failed to graduate with a doctorate in Philosophy in Plant Ecology from UON after failing to meet what he termed as set requirements.

"I urge all colleges to observe set standards and award certificates to students purely on merit. As a PhD student, I have subjected myself to that standard. I was due to graduate tomorrow but I can't because of requirement," Ruto said.

Ruto holds an undergraduate degree in Botany and Zoology and a masters in Environmental Science.

Yafaa Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi na pia vyuo vikuu vingine nchini vianze kutoa shahada ya kwanza (BA), shahada ya uzamili (MA), na mwishowe shahada ya uzamivu (PhD) katika ubingwa wa ufisadi, utoaji rushwa, uporaji wa mali ya umma, wizi, ulaghai, uroho (greed), ukabila, na pia mauaji ya wananchi ovyo.

Wanabunge wengi, na pia viongozi wa taasisi (institutes) za umma, na pia viongozi wanaosimamia idara nchini, na pia viongozi wa nchi watapokea shahada ya uzamivu kwa uhalifu mwingi wanaoacha uendelee au kushiriki humu nchini.

Nairobi university should stop selling PhD’s.

This is a big problem of Kenyan universities.Selling degree’s, masters and PhD’s.

Kenya will remain backwards with such mentalities.

AJABU:

Jameni: Ningependa kujua, Je, Huyu Ndugu yetu Ruto alifanya utafiti wakati gani ili apate nafasi ya kuandika tasnifu (thesis) yake na kupata shahada ya uzamivu - PhD?
