Basic diploma and certificate courses will be scrapped from university academic programmes if Kenya's parliament approves proposals by Embakasi Central legislator Benjamin Gathiru.

In a newly published Universities (Amendment) (No 5) Bill 2023, the MP proposes that universities instead offer postgraduate diplomas and postgraduate certificate courses.
