Academic Affairs registrar Seth Owido said Mahamed Yusuf, as he was known in college, was discontinued by the senate

Owido said this was

on August 26, 2010

while he was a third-year student.

In a letter to the National Council of NGOs dated September 10, the professor said Mohamed was admitted as a regular student in 2007 to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture.

He said he changed the course through an inter-faculty transfer on September 27 that year.

Mohamed was discontinued for failing 50 per cent or more of all the credit factors taken in the ordinary exams of one academic year, Owindo said.

But the executive director's CV shows he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in 2009.
