Just read from todays Nation http://tinyurl.com/97z64zb that the new Postmaster General holds a doctorate from http://www.washint.edu/en/ - Washington International University, a Cyberspace University. Whereas I have nothing against online education - having benefited from one - I just thought that I could share some advice. If you want to do an online program, do it from a PHYSICAL university that has an Online/Distance Learning division. In other words, the university should physically exist. Similar to if you want to do Online banking, better do it from an existing bank (e.g. Equity, Barclays, KCB, etc) who have an online division. That way you are likely to get your quality and credibility issues sorted out. I know Wikipedia is not very authoritative but it is always a good place to go to after asking Google. And so I did and this is what Wikipeidia said about Washington International University. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_International_University It even claims in its list of graduates and I quote " Asman Kamama Abongotum; Kenya's Deputy Minister for Education. He could lose his parliamentary position because of the unrecognized degree" Actually our Commission of Higher Education seems to have a problem with this University. I know the PCK board - that includes our PS Ndemo - may have seen this but argued rightfully that one may NOT need a PhD to ran a simple Postal Service in some developing economy. In which case, our self-nominated candidate, Bobby Yawe should have been called for the interview? Just thinking loudly and hope Kibunja and his friends (the mboys in mblue) dont come for me claiming this is hate speech - because I think its a mixture of advice and belated lobbying :-) walu.
