Appeals for pardon by students expelled from the University of Nairobi

The Academic Registrar Mr. Humphrey Webuye wishes to notify all expelled students of the University of Nairobi that they can now submit their appeals for pardon to the Pardon Advisory Committee by completing the template/form attached. Kindly submit the duly completed template/form to the committee using the following email:  pardonadvisory@uonbi.ac.ke 

The pardon advisory committee (PAC) has set guidelines that will see students appealing to the chair of the senate, and the committee will recommend a free or conditional pardon to an expelled student. They can also propose postponement punishment of a student, either for a specified or indefinite period, or substitute a less server form of punishment. To be eligible to file a pardon petition the student:

• must demonstrate they have exhausted all internal administrative mechanisms;
• must exhausted all administrative and legal mechanisms in place at the university on violation of the Code of conduct;
• must have been accused of an offense and the process of conviction already completed;
• must be required to state specific reasons for which pardon is sought and attach any relevant documentary evidence that indicates how a pardon will help them accomplish student life.

However, students facing criminal cases in court are exempted from this pardon.

The PAC guidelines state that the committee’s verdict is final with no appeal against their decision. The committee will review all the petitions presented and determine the students’ worthiness for relief. Written views of the victims of the violation will also be taken into account during the pardoning process.
