Baadhi ya Lecturers wa Mzumbe wana degree Feki - VC wao naye FEKI

Nungwi, angalia wenye digrii za PWU wanavyowashiwa moto hapo MU napo muda si mrefu moto utawaka tu!

Degree of doubt for Bertie's boffin

DONAL LYNCH

THE Government's chief science adviser, Dr Barry McSweeney, got his doctorate from a US 'university' that globally advertises its unrecognised "fee-for-degree" qualifications on the internet, the Sunday Independent can reveal. The Swedish government has listed Pacific Western University (PWU) as a fake institution that issues bogus degrees, while the investigative arm of the US Congress said in a report that PWU was an unaccredited "diploma mill" for CV cheats.

The revelation about Mr McSweeney's doctorate will come as a further embarrassment to the Taoiseach ina week when he was again chided in the Dail by FG leader Enda Kenny for allegedly "faking" his own degree.

Last night, Mr McSweeney himself refused to comment on his doctorate, but a spokeswoman said that he was "proud" of his PhD, which he achieved in just 12 months, and that he stood over it.

There are now serious questions over the use by Mr McSweeney of the title 'Doctor', particularly given his current role.

The Los Angeles-based 'university' which granted Mr McSweeney his PhD in biotechnology and biochemistry in 1994 has no merit or standing in the academic world and has been the subject of numerous official investigations, state bans and media exposes in its 28-year history.

PhDs of the type obtained by Mr McSweeney from the unaccredited PWU, whose qualifications are not recognised by the US Department of Education, are usually obtained by US workers who pay up to $10,000 to give their CV a sheen of academic credibility. PWU has state approval for some courses in California. The investigative arm of US Congress, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), told a Senate committee last year that 463 governmentemployees had received bogus degrees from a list of phoney colleges that included PWU. The GAO report prompted the agency, which conducts background checks on new federal staff, to crack down on the CV cheats who take a shortcut to the top and undermine employees who work long and hard for legitimate degrees but who might get passed over for a raise or promotion.

The fees for earning a PhD from diploma mills such as PWU are a relative bargain - reputable universities in the US and Ireland charge up to five times that amount for a PhD and the subsequent right to be called 'Doctor'.

Mr McSweeney, referred to as 'Doctor' in all Government press releases, was appointed Ireland's first chief science adviser by Tanaiste Mary Harney in June last year.

The appointment was part of a package of decisions taken by Government to maximise Ireland's potential in science, technology and innovation (STI).

Mr McSweeney has responsibility for providing the Government with independent expert advice on all aspects of science, technology and innovation, including investment in technology and analysis of innovations in science.

The disclosure raises serious questions about Mr McSweeney's use of the title 'Doctor'; academics with a public role like his would normally spend many years achieving a PhD from a recognised institution.

There is no question that Mr McSweeney has anything other than a distinguished track record in business. He has a degree in biochemistry from UCC and a Masters degree in clinical biochemistry from TCD.

He was director-general of the Joint Research Centre, a 2,400-person research-based science-policy-support body which operates as part of the European Commission with an operating budget of €340M per annum.

He was also in charge of the Marie Curie Fellowships, an EU-wide programme which has been credited with helping more than 35,000 scientists develop their careers. Mr McSweeney has been widely praised for his role in expanding this programme.

With such a distinguished record, observers have expressed surprise that Mr McSweeney would add to his CV a Phd obtained within 12 months from a discredited organisation like PWU.

The earning of the title 'Doctor' and its use is no small issue in the world of academia and there is little respect for anyone who has obtained a doctorate from a 'diploma mill' where a fee is paid for a distance-learning degree.

In the US, the salaries of some community-college teachers have been cut after it emerged that they gained their qualification from PWU. A report in the Pacific Business News said of PWU, "In the academic world it's just about as useless as it can be."

Paul Engel, professor of Biochemistry in UCD, said of Mr McSweeney: "It wouldcertainly give him greater credibility in the academic community if he had a PhD from a recognised university, but at the same time he has administrative ability and insight, and we should also judge him on his impressive performance in a similar role in Europe."

John Scott, professor of Biochemistry at Trinity College, said: "His attributes are that he is a good organiser and a good spokesman, whereas some academics are not as good at that."

Mr McSweeney has made no attempt to conceal the details of his education. The spokeswoman who said last week that he was "proud" of his doctorate and "stood over it" also insisted that, despite the overwhelming body of official evidence, PWU was a "respected" university. "Barry is too busy to speak to you,@ she said, "but I'm telling you it [PWU] s a respected and recognised body."

She added: "Barry stands over his doctorate and he's proud of it. He has a degree from UCC, significant lifeexperience, and was the director-general of the Joint Research Institute. I can't believe you're writing this. It's very bizarre."

Pacific Western University is banned in some US states. In the state of Oregon, the Office of Degree Authorisation (ODA) said of PWU: "Appears to be a diploma mill. ODA has no evidence that this is alegitimate provider of postsecondary education meeting Oregon standards. Unclear whether the entities using the name are all one, but none should be considered legitimate educationalinstitutions."

PWU's own website describes its PhD degree programme as useful "for gaining notoriety in your chosen field". The PhD in biochemistry is no longer offered by the organisation.

The worst diploma mills simply sell diplomas and fake transcripts, typically for a fee of $1,000 or more. But unaccredited schools range from legitimate distance-learning programmes that include course work, tests and teacher feedback to "schools" that grant degrees based solely on life and work experience.

PWU has been sued by Hawaii state for violating consumer protection laws, while the Swedish government's National Agency For Higher Education listed it in a report entitled, 'Fake Universities and Bogus Degrees'. PWU has also been the subject of numerous exposes in the American media over concerns about its academic standards.

A PhD in biochemistry from UCD or Trinity would take an average of four years to complete and would have to involve an original piece of scientific research suitable for peer-reviewed publication and examined by international experts. McSweeney did not attend PWU, as there is no campus, and his official CV shows that he achieved his PhD in one year.

Most senior scientists working in areas related toresearch would have PhDs, and it is a qualification that would be expected to appear on the CV of a Government science adviser.

In contrast to Mr McSweeney, his British equivalent, Sir David King, holds a doctorate from Cambridge University. Similarly, the American chief science adviser, John Marbuger,obtained his PhD in applied physics from Stanford, a world-renowned Ivy League university. Both men also hold professorships, which is the next academic step up from a doctorate.

In recent months, Mr McSweeney has spoken out on "the need to attractthe best brains into science careers" and has argued for more postgraduate research in science. The fact thathe himself does not have a doctorate from a properlyaccredited university but nonetheless uses the title 'Doctor' affects the credibility of his office.

US academics dismiss Dublin chief adviser's PhD
Richard Oakley, The Sunday Times November 06, 2005

THE Irish government's chief science adviser has refused to release his doctoral thesis, despite allegations that his PhD was awarded by an American-based "fee for degree" institution.
Dr Barry McSweeney, who earns €120,000-a-year in his government role, has claimed that Pacific Western University (PWU), a so-called diploma mill, was "vastly different" in 1992 when he achieved his doctorate through distance learning. However, a number of American academics and degree experts have dismissed this claim.



McSweeney has refused to give permission for his PhD to be made available and PWU said that it will not release it unless he does. Other academics have said this is a highly unusual stance for a university as PhD theses are usually filed in college libraries.

McSweeney's refusal was issued through a spokeswoman, who said that the PhD involved "substantial research". Mc-Sweeney has yet to comment since questions were first raised over his qualifications three weeks ago.

He was first invited to meet Micheal Martin, the enterprise minister, after questions were raised by opposition TDs. The minister has continued to support McSweeney's appointment, arguing that his vast experience made him suitable for the job, but has asked him to clarify "issues".

This request followed an assessment by the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland, which found that PWU did not have accrediting powers in America.

Experts on diploma mills in America, where many such universities are based, expressed disbelief that no action has been taken by the Irish government.

Margaret Soltan, a professor of English at George Washington University in Washington DC and an opponent of diploma mills, said: "In the United States, the revelation that a high-level appointee in any government agency had received a PhD from a diploma mill would inevitably result in that person's withdrawal from their appointment. Despite McSweeney's claims, Pacific Western is, and always has been, a diploma mill."

She argued that McSweeney's other qualifications and impressive track record were not enough to justify his appointment. "It doesn't make any difference that, as some in your government have said, the particular job to which Mc-Sweeney has been appointed does not require a PhD."

John Bear, the author of a guidebook on non-traditional learning institutions, said: "If PWU was vastly different back then, it was even worse than it is now. Holders of degrees from Pacific Western in the early 1990s would be committing a criminal offence if they used those degrees in the US states that regulate degree use."

George Gollin, a physics professor in the University of Illinois, said that a lawsuit was taken against PWU in 1997 by the Hawaii commerce and consumer affairs department.

"The university was fined $30,000 (€25,400) and had to re-issue funds to customers," Gollin said. "It's hard to believe that a ‘real school' fell from grace."

Gollin said it was highly unusual for an academic to resist making his PhD public or for a university to do so.

"Mine is here in my office and if you want it, you can have it," he said. His university would not hire anyone with a PWU qualification, he insisted.

Steve Bonica, the president of PWU, has pointed out that the university was recently taken over by new owners and that all the degrees it confers are legal.

A spokeswoman for Mc-Sweeney previously said that his doctorate took two years to obtain and was based on research on the development of a biotechnology-based research centre, understood to be BioResearch Ireland. But PWU is believed to offer academic points for life experience and will give credit to a student where this is applicable.

McSweeney has a biochemistry degree from University College Cork and a masters degree from Trinity College Dublin. He has worked as director-general of the European commission's joint research centre.

Jan O'Sullivan, of the Labour party, has demanded to be given more information on the "substantial" research that McSweeney's PhD involved. She said that he could clear up the matter by releasing the necessary information and that the onus was on him to do so quickly.

Nungwi,

Kwanza naomba nikija bongo nikuone. Seriously! Kama fani yako ni hesabu basi somo la logic ulikosa swali lake kwenye mtihani na wala hukulielewa. Wakai watu wana ongelea issues katika higher level, wewe unaongelea utafikiri umetoka primary school. Wakati watu wanajadili mwezi mtukufu wa ramadhani wewe unajadili Christmas. Wakati watu wanajadili siasa ya ujamaa ulikuwepo wakati wa Nyerere wewe unasema Nyerere hakuwahi kutawala Tanzania!!!. Jesus christ!!, tunaambiwa sisi waalimu tusichoke kufundisha ila wewe mmmhhhh?, NAOGOPA KUINGIA PERSONAL.

Naomba nikuelimishe kwa mara ya mwisho: Hatuna tatizo na uwezo wa VC wenu kutawala. Hatuna tatizo na wanafunzi wa Mzumbe, maana hatuna inferiority complex sisi!. TUNA TATIZO NA PHD ZILIZONUNULIWA!. Jadili hizo Phd, husijadili chuo. Umeambiwa UDSM ni cha 13 Africa wewe unapinga tena bila point!! ndugu yangu umeanza lini kutumia internet?, una email address?, kama unayo umeipata lini? maana hili lilizunguka mnnoooooo humu, na magazeti yooote bongo yakaandika. Sasa unapopinga facts kama kukataa kuwa Jakaya Mrisho kikwete siyo Rais wa Tanzania kwa sasa hivi, unataka tukuweke kundi gani?

Soma tena hapo nyuma nilivyokuwa tunajadiliana na Mkandara, angalia Mkandara alivyokuwa anajadili (partly yupo upande wako) ndio utaona healthy discussion zipo vipi. Ukiwa mgeni kwenye mtandao tulia kwanza soma hitimu kisha join us.

KUKURUPUKA HUKO NDO HIZO HIZO DEGREE ZENU FEKI ZA PHD. Nina washkaji wengi sana waalimu hapo. Nitakuandikia private mail nikupe email yangu.

Wikiend njema

FD
 
Dah,
Mkuu FD simlaumu huyu. Tatizo si yeye na huenda hakusoma tangia mwanzo mwa mada husika. Binafsi kuna siku nilitoka huko nimeutwika nikaivamia Forum na kuandika kwa kuangalia maoni ya mhusika alopita. Haikuchukua hata dk 5 nikajirudi kwa kugundua nilikuwa nachemka kwa kuichangia mada kabla sijaangalia mada imeanzia wapi.

Kifupi mkuu Nungwi hakuna anayekiponda chuo cha Mzumbe. Hata ukiangalia 'Heading' inaonesha wazi kuwa 'Baadhi ya Lecturers...' kitu ambacho kinajieleza kinagaubaga. Hapa kinachozungumziwa ni namna wanafunzi wanavyonywesha sumu na hawa ma-Prof wa 'kubumba' na wala huwezi laumiwa wewe ulonyweshwa sumu bali wanyweshwaji.

Mzumbe ni ya Tanzania na watanzania wanaosoma pale wanapendwa na kuheshimika (kama wewe). Naamini nimeeleweka na huenda ukarejea kwenye mada na kutoa mawazo yako kama kweli umesoma Mzumbe na kueleza namna unavyoziona hizo PhD zao zenye utata.

Regards

Mac
 
Nungwi,

Najaona kama vile unaongee siasa hapa, wala siyo academics. Swala la kulinganisha Chuo cha Mzumbe na Dar ni nje kabisa ya swala la kuhakiki digrii za waalimu wa vyuo hivyo.

Kigezo chako cha Mzumbe hoyee UDSM zii hakina msingi wowote. Dar ni Chuo Kikuu kinachotoa degree za kimataifa katika nyanja za Science, Arts, Medicine, Law, Journalism, Engineering, Commerce, Education, Archecture nk. Huwezi kulingansiha UDSM na MU ambacho ni chuo cha uhasibu na management tu. Dunia nzima inajua kuwa Dar ni chuo cha 13 kwa ubora katika Afrka, baada vya vyuo 10 vya Afrika ya Kusini na kimoja cha Misri na kimoja cha reunion. Mzumbe haimo katika 100 bora za Afrika.


Hata hivyo mada iliyoka hapa siyo ya kupima wanafuzni wa Mzumbe na wa UDSU au kuangalia ni chuo gani kizuri kati ya hivyo; sote tunapenda siku moja vyuo vyote vya Tanzania vyote viwe juu kama vile vya South Afrika. Swala linaloongelewa hapa ni kitendo cha waalimu wa Mzumbe kujipachikia digrii wasizokuwa nazo. Kitendo hicho ndicho kimesababisha sasa hivi Tanzania watu wote wenye hela wanageuka madaktari. Juzi nilisoma taarifa ya jamaa niliyekuwa namfahamu pale Kibuku (Didas Masaburi) na najua kuwa hajenda shule yoyote, lakini eti ni dakitari na anatafuta ubunge wa Afrika Mashariki. Nilipitia CV za wabunge nikakuta wabunge kadhaa wana digrii hizi hizi za uchwala; Mrema naye alikuwa anatafuta urais kwa digii ya kununua. Huwezi kuwalaumu hawa wababaishaji kama walimu wenyewe ndio wnaoongoza katika shughuli hiyo. Waalimu walitakiwa ndio wawe mbele katika kuhakikisha kuwa heshima ya elimu iko katika kiwango cha juu.

(1) Wanafunzi wachache kutokea wakafanya vizuri sana siyo kigezo cha kusema kuwa digrii za waalimu ni nzuri.

(2) Kama Waryoba ana mipango ya kusomesha waalimu, kwa nini yeye na waalimu wake wananunua digii kutoka vyuo visivyotambulika. Rafiki yangu Prosper alishindwa kupata Ph.D kule Norway kama miaka miwili au mitatu tu iliyopitalakini akanunua ya bandia na huyo Mzee Waroba akasema mambo sawa. Je pale Mzumbe kweli kuna standard yoyote yote ya elimu kama mambo ni hayo?

(3) Kama kuna watu wanendelea kutetea swala hili, basi pale Tanzania bado tuna kazi kubwa sana ili kupata maendeleao. Nyerere alisema kuwa kati ya maadui wakubwa wa maendeleo mojwapo ni UJINGA; and he was right ingawa mimi ni KICHUGUU.
 
Mike,

Ameelewa, anachonikera nacho rafiki yangu Nungwi ni ku spin mambo, wakati hana uwezo huo au hata kama anayo uwezo watu waliopo hapa sio wajinga.

Kichunguu, Tatizo lililopo humu ni watu kutotafiti, mfano kabla ya kupinga Udsm kuwa ya 13 angalau angeuliza source!!!!.

Back to the topic, watanzania lazima tuwe na accredition body yetu, nadhani hilo ndilo linatakiwa. Wengine mnasemaje?

Someni vizuri postings za rafiki yangu Mtz kabla ya kujibu.

FD
 
Mzee FD, unafikiri Tz hatuna accredition body? ipo mzee ndio hiyo inaitwa Higher Education Accreditation Council ambayo kama sikosei imebadilishwa au iko kwenye process ya kubadilishwa kuwa Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU). Tatizo letu ni laissez faire culture iliyojikita ndani ya serikali yetu. Chuo cha PWU kilisharamishwa Tz na HEAC na DVC wa Mzumbe alikuwepo kwenye hicho kikao cha HEAC ambapo dkuna digrii ya PWU ilikuwa imeletwa for accreditation. Wazee hizi digrii hazina maana yoyote, huyo Warioba na wengineo tungewaheshimu sana kama wangeendelea kutumia Masters zao hata wakiwa maprofesa. Kwani kuwa na profesa ni lazima kuwa na PhD? inategemea tu na sheria za chuo, UD at one time academia walikuwa wanapanda mpaka kuwa associate professor bila ya kuwa na PhD na mfano mzuri ni prof Jengo.

Wazee matatizo haya ya vyuo hivi vigeni yameanza baada ya rais kujitoa kuwa Chancellor wa vyuo vikuu na vilevile kutaka kuongeza vyuo bila ya careful scrutiny. Wakati SUA inaanzishwa alipelekwa Prof Mmari, sina hata haja ya kuelezea sifa za mzee huyu, ni mtu pekee bongo ambaye amekuwa VC wa vyuo 3 vwa serikali. Yeye ndio aliyeanzisha SUA akaweka viwango vinavyostahili, ilikuwa hugusi academia kama GPA ni chini ya 3.8. Akatoka hapo akarudi UD and the akaenda kuanzisha OUT. Sasa tatizo tulilo nalo sasa vyuo vinamushroom tu, Cho kilikuwa kinatoa diploma and all over a sudden wanataka kiwe chuo kikuu. hapo ndio jamaa wanaposhtuka kuwa wanatakiwa kuwa na PhDs na wao tayari wameshazeeka, kwa nini wasitafute slope kwenye digrii za kununua za be che?

I'm really urging the government to look into this wazee, we gonna ruin reputation of our education hivi hivi tukiwa tunaona!
 
mTz,

Nakupongeza kwa juhudi zako za kuwaeleza wahusika (wenye degree feki) na kwa serikali yetu inayo takiwa kuchukua hatua za haraka ku-STOP hawa watu kutumia vyeti vyao feki.

FD
huyu nungwi kama hajaelewa bado alichoelezwa hapo nyuma, sidhani kama atakuja kuelewa maishani mwake. nafikiri sasa unaweza jua kwa nini mtu kama nungwi alisomea mzumbe.......the ans is simple kuna akina Warioba et al waliompitisha pitisha na akapata hiyo diploma. HII NI HATARI SUMU WATU WAMESHAKUNYWA (Nungwi mmoja wapo) kama ambavyo tunamshuhudia humu.

Nungwi,
soma mada, uielewe, uitafakari, ujipange namna ya kujibu na ndipo uijibu. hii yote ni katika kukusaidia wewe mtanzania mwenzetu
 
FD,
Huyu Nungwi nadhani mtani wenu na sii kwamba anaandika kujadili isipokuwa anatafuta ushabiki. UDSM hadi kesho kitaendelea kuheshimika nje kama CHUO KIKUU pekee kinachotambuliwa kimataifa. Hii haina maana vyuo vikuu vingine vilivyobaki ni bomu. Pia kuna tatizo moja kubwa sana Tanzania ambalo nadhani limetokana na Ulimbukeni ama kutofahamu tofauti za elimu. Tunashindwa kutofautisha kati ya Academics na Profession kiasi kwamba kumekuwepo na mijadala ya aina hii toka enzi za Nyerere. UDSM v/s IFM.. mara Mzumbe n.k. maradhi haya yamekuwa na athari hata katika utoaji wa ajira, waajiri wetu hawafahamu nani anastahili kuajiriwa ktk nafasi husika.

Nungwi, mwanangu yupo UDSM , kichwa safi sana...
 
Ahaa, kwa kweli mimi sielewi kwa nini tunajadili post ya Nungwi. Labda niulize, kwani lazima tujibu kila hoja humu ndani? Mimi nafikiri zingine tusome tu tuziache hivyohivyo!
 
Mwanasiasa,

Upo sahihi. Ila tatizo la sisi waalimu ni kuwa tunapenda kuelimisha. Nungwi anatakiwa kusaidiwa tena sana kimtazamo, kifikra na hata kielimu, aweze kupambanua mambo.

FD
 
Nungwi

Wahenga walisema nyani haoni kundule (wanaforum samahani kwa lugha hii)

Unajua ndugu yangu tatizo lako kubwa ni kwamba aidha hufahamu kusoma bal i unafjua kusoma. Nimetumia maneno kufahamu na kusoma nikimaanisha kuwa unajua unachosoma lakini hufahamu usomacho.

Kama kweli wewe ndiye umefundishwa na hao walio na PhD dhana basi umedhihirisha bila uchunguzi zaidi kuwa, PhD zao zina ulakini. Yaani ndugu yangu unashindwa hata kufanya uhakiki halisia.

Mimi naomba tu ufanye kitu kimoja cha busara,TUAMBIE NDUGU NCHIMBI ALIPATIA WAPI HIZO MASTERS ZAKE MBILI NA PhD YAKE.

BAADA YA HAPO TUNAOMBA UTUAMBIE NI WAPI KATIKA MAKTABA YENU HAPO MZUMBE TUNAWEZA KUPATA NAKALA YA THESIS AU HATA TOPIC YA PhD YAKE.

kama utafanya hivyo mimi binafsi nitafunga safari kutoka hapa SUA kukuletea pesa taslim laki tano (500,000).

Nungwi Prosper Ngowi ni ndugu yangu na naweza kukuambia kuwa yeye mwenyewe pamoja na kuwa na master kutoka Norway, alifuata mkumbo baada ya wenzake wote hata wale waliokuwa hawana masters sembuse PhD kupandishwa vyeo baada ya kununua PhD Online kwa kutumia pesa za Serikali, basi ikabidi na yeye afanye hivyo ili asipoteza kazi.

Wanabodi nadhani weng hapa hamjui kwamba pesa zilizotumika kununua hizo PhD ni pesa za walipa kodi. Serikali ilitoa pesa hizi kwa walimu wa IDM baada ya kubadlishwa kuwa Chuo Kikuu ili kwenda kusoma lakini ni wachache tu (5) ndiyo waliokwenda kusoma kweli na wawili wamerudi watatu bado wanakula kitabu UK na kwingineko..
 
Nina wasiwasi kuwa Nungwi aidha ni kati ya wale rafiki zangu waliodisko pale UDSM wakahamia Mzumbe ambako alikuja pata hiyo diploma yake. Ukiongea na graduates wengi wa Mzumbe huwa hawana hii la pulukushani la nani ni bora na chuo gani ni kizuri, na utakuta kuna wengi wao wanaochukua MBA pale UDSM. Wenye kelele ni wale ambao wana nongwa fulani na UDSM, aidha kwa kuwa walikataliwa admission pale kutokana na performance yao duni huko hai skul au walidisko pale. Jamaa hao huwa wana mdomo utadhani nini, nia yao ni kutaka kuonyesha kuwa kutoingia au kufeli kwao UDSM siyo hoja.

Utashangaa anazungumzia hata madawati UDSM, wakati jambo hilo lilishatolewa ufafanuzi kuwa ilikuwa ni error katika timetabling; anapinga kuwa UDSM siyo ya 13 Afrika na asitake kujua Mzumbe ni ya ngapi katika skeli hiyo wakati list iko hadharani. Huyu jamaa siyo serious kabisa. Swala la kupata contract za serikali kwa walimu wa mzumbe siyo kipimo sahihi kwani serikali haina utaratibu wazi wa kutoa contract, ndiyo maana hata Richmond Development walipata contract kubwa sana ya serikali bila hata ushindani; historia ya uhusiano wa muda mrefu kati ya Mzumbe na watumishi wengi inajulikana. Angekuwa serious angetoa list ya publications za waalimu wa Mzumbe katika journals za kimataifa akiilinganisha na wale wa UDSM.

Pamoja na kuwa kuna baadhi ya walimu pale wana qualifications nzuri tu, wingi wa Ph.D za PWU na COU pale Mzumbe unavuruga image nzima ya Chuo hasa kwa vile VC naye ni wa aina hiyo hiyo. In fact kama wangetumia utaratibu kama wa UDSM kuwa mwalimu akishindwa kupata digrii ya juu na kibarua chake kinaota mizizi, wengi wao wangekuwa hawapo pale kwani kuna ushahidi wa wengi wao kushindwa kupata digrii za juu huko nje na aidha kuambulia postgraduate diploma, kupata masters ya pili badala ya Ph.D na au kurudi mikono mitupu.

Wewe ni mtu wa pili kama sikosei kusema Pngowi hana PhD kutoka Norway. Nimeshtuka sana kwa habari hii kwani hapa Norway huyo bwana alikuwa anasoma chuo kinachoheshimika (prestigious) cha NHH. Hata wenyewe wazungu hapa wanajua si kila mmoja anaweza kwenda pale. Any way nitawaulizia wenyewe NHH nikipata nafasi. Nashindwa kabisa kuamini habari hii.
 
Shule ya "Dr." Ngowi kama ilivyoanishwa katika prospectus ya MU. Jamaa ana MBA nzuri halafu anaishia kuicontaminate na bogus PhD. Halafu jinsi alivyoiweka kimtindo kwenye prospectus as if ni PhD ya Norway! very funny indeed! Mzee Invicible tunasubiri findings zako kama utapata nafasi.

"Nungwi Prosper Ngowi ni ndugu yangu na naweza kukuambia kuwa yeye mwenyewe pamoja na kuwa na master na PhD kutoka Norway...."

pamoja na kusema hivyo bado alibidi kufuata huo mkumbo kwani pesa zilitolewa kwa waliokuwa wakufunzi kwenda kufanya Post Doctoral studies na doctorial studies. Ilibidi na yeye achukue mshiko na kuonesha aliutumia kusoma ilibidi aungane na akina Nchimbi.

BTW: Prosper Ngowi tulikuwa naye Bergen 2002 akiwa amebakiza mwaka mmoja kumaliza masomo yake.

Hizi hapa ni baadhi ya paper zake: naona zimekwenda shule.

Wanabodi,
Leo nitawaomba radhi zenu kwani ukweli nimeupata toka kwa Vice President wa chuo cha PWU - Dr. Daniel Beteta ambaye nimewasiliana naye. Kanambia ya kwamba PWU haitoi wala haijawahi kutoa Phd.
Sasa kazi kwenu! - Ushahidi ninao.
 
Sasa Mzee Mkandara unaongea, actually PWU of recent it has re-invented itself, kabla ya hapo kilkuwa ni usanii 100% and unfortunately hawa jamaa wa MU ndio era waliolabua Doctoraat zao. Someni hizi documents attached from United States Government Accountability Office (GAO). Kama US wenyewe wanapigia kelele digrii from PWU and the like, sisi ni nani hata tuzikumbatie hizo digrii?

Sasa hapo Mkandara umetuchanganya zaidi! Hiyo habari ni nzito mno. What can we do?

Kitu kingine kinachoniumiza kichwa, inakuaje Kaduma ambaye ndio Chancellor wa MU amekaa kimya katika hili jambo. Au ndio tuseme naye ameridhika kwamba ni sawa, au hana taarifa ya haya majambo. Labda apekewe hizo taarifa kwa ukamilifu. Kwa wale ambao sasa wapo TZ mpelekee print out huyu mzee ripoti zote kuhusu hii saga. I believe Kaduma is credible enough to do something given proper information about this matter.

Hiz paper ni za kibabaishaji tu, siyo concrete; they are too journalistic: ni kama "makala ya gazeti la habari". Hata hivyo inaonyesha kuwa Ngowi anayependa kujitahidi, ila labda alikosa usimamizi mzuri tu na tamaa ya udakitari wa mkatomkato.

List ya vyuo feki iko hapa:

Kagueni Ph.D zote za Mzumbe inawezekana idadi ni kubwa kuliko inavyojulikana kwa vile tumezoea kuangalia PWU and COU tu. Angalia wale wanaolist Ph.D generically bila kuonyesha awarding institution. Kwa Mfano kuna watu wameandika Ph.D(USA), Ph.D(Norwegian School).

Vilevile kuna Ph.D zinazotokana na vyuo veye acredditation from unrecognized bodies kama ilivyo hapa chini:
