Uganda Pentecostal University accuses the director of the Kenya School of Law of refusing to
Uganda Pentecostal University (UPU) has filed
an application seeking to commit Kenya School of Law Director PLO
Lumumba to six months' civil jail for contempt of court.
The
university claims Prof Lumumba has disobeyed an order requiring him to
admit graduates of the Ugandan institution who are qualified to study in
Kenya.
Prof John Ntambirweki, the
university's vice chancellor, says a judge had quashed an earlier
decision of the Council of Legal Education to suspend the recognition of
Uganda Pentecostal University's (UPU) Bachelor of Law degree programme.
“The
said order was duly extracted and served upon the director and Chief
Executive of Kenya School of Law and the Legal Education Secretary on
October 10 last year,” the Ugandan states in court documents.
DENIED ENTRY
The
university’s lawyer, Mr Steven Nzaku, on Tuesday told Mr Justice George
Odunga that despite the order, more than 26 UPU graduates who applied
to the Kenya School of Law for the advocate training programme have been
denied entry.
