Moi University Law School popularly known as 'Annex' was ordered to issue a closure plan within the next two months after they failed to be accredited by the Quality Assuranceand Compliance Committee.
The committee which is under the Council of Legal Education determined that the school did not meet the standards as required by the Constitution under Section 19(1) of the Legal Education Act and Inspection Guidelines.
The Law School has been banned from admitting more students for the academic year 2015/2016 or in subsequent years.
The management was asked to issue a plan for students to either exit or transfer them to an institution that is accredited.
The institution would however be allowed to submit a fresh application for future consideration by the council.
This happened after the Council of Legal Education revealed a high failure rate in law schools with 1,805 out of 5,588 having failed to pass the bar.
The Council was forced to take measures on varsity schools that did not have sufficient resources which include law libraries, qualified lecturers and enough lecture halls.
Attorney General Githu Muigai has in the past blamed parallel degree programmes for producing 'half baked' lawyers.
“Since the entry of parallel degree module, the country has been producing half baked prosecutors and lawyers who have no knowledge of the law,” he stated.
Muigai blamed the programme for opening doors to many students who did not meet the high standards required to pursue a law degree.
He stated that due to the high number of admitted students, lecturers were unable to monitor the progress of students.
Moi University Masters programme in Law was also suspended in February for not meeting the set standards.
