For Professor of Law Patricia Kameri Mbote, dealing with academic malpractices is part of her work at the University of Nairobi (UoN) where she teaches law.
But yesterday, she was on trial, accused by her colleague, Prof Migai Akech, and three of her former students, who were at one point her research assistants, of academic malpractices.
Appearing before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), she was put to task on why she left Prof Akech out of a concept paper he had authored when she used it to get funds from Ford Foundation.
Her response was that she used the Ford Foundation’s grant template, which required her to only indicate the vice-chancellor and herself as in charge.
