"The university charter believes Raila ascribes to the values of the learning institution and has rendered distinguished service in the advancement of any branch of learning or service to humanity.”

"The University Senate has therefore determined that the Right Honourable Odinga is worthy of the conferment of Honorary Degree of Doctor of Sciences (Honoris Causa),” the school’s vice chancellor Stephen Agong’ said.

The former Prime Minister also holds two academic degrees from Germany, a bachelors from University of Leipzig and a master’s degree from Technical School, Magdeburg (currently Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg).
