Those 115 people were RTUC students which University collaborated with the Mount Kenya University at that time. They graduated on February, 02, 2013 but did not receive their diplomas. They say that they endure difficult living conditions due to this situation whereby they did not yet get their degrees.
The partnership stipulated that the former RTUC was to teach students from Mount Kenya University were not yet legally recognized to be officially operational in Rwanda.
The students attended the RTUC main campus located at Kicukiro and in Rubavu in the Weastern Province.
The main challenge for the students is that they were not handled whit their degrees until even though they graduated.
They brought the claims to the RTUC that taught them and to which they paid the fees to attend lectures.
Due to this challenge, students cannot be upgraded in their job positions because of the lack of the papers.
One of the students said that the RTUC keeps telling them to come in the coming week that the issue will be resolved.
Asked whether the RTUC does not have a heavy loan towards Mount Kenya University, the Rector of the University, Callixte Kabera denied that allegations, qualifiying them as baseless utterances.
We give explanations to each student who wonders about the delay of the diplomas. Umuseke asked to the Mount Kenya about what is being done to resolve the situation.
