On June 21st, 2019 Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology aka JKUAT conferred a total of 118 doctorate degrees during its annual graduation ceremony.
Also, 3345 students graduated from other field of studies on the first graduation to be hosted by the newly appointed Vice Chancellor Prof. Joseph Mathu Ndung’u,
From Prof. Mathu’s speech, it was clear that JKUAT had since January 2019, acquired 38 new intellectual property rights, including seven patents, one utility model, 26 trademarks, three copyrights and industrial design.
On social media, Kenyans were shocked with the highest number of doctorate degrees honours aka PhDs who graduated on the same day.
Many argued that JKUAT did not have required facilities and number of professors to supervise the 118 graduates
