Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has ordered an audit into the statutes and practices of Daystar University following allegations that non-Christian students are forced to attend chapel. Mr Machogu said the university explained that all students are admitted with full knowledge of its Christian background, philosophy and teachings, when he sought answers from the administration. The university has indicated that its students are by policy required to attend at least 75 per cent of all scheduled chapel services in any given semester,” Mr Machogu said. Mr Ali said that Kenyan students are free to attend any university regardless of their religious foundations. The Speaker Moses Wetang’ula directed Mr Machogu to send officers to Daystar University to investigate the claims and appear before the Committee on Education in a fortnight, together with Mr Ali.
