It is found that business professionals in Kenya who engage in fraud and corruption are alumni’s of Kenyan business schools. This leads many to question Kenyan business schools and the role of ethics education in their curriculum.

Although experts have condemned Kenya’s business school curriculum, the article points out that not all cases of corruption involve business graduates.

The article examines how Kenya’s business schools can integrate ethics into the education, as Kenyan institutions feel that their “syllabus is already jam-packed” and thus ethics courses should be only optional.

This brings up the question of what these schools can do in order to produce more ethically minded graduates. Some suggest integrating insightful questions into the curriculum about ethics in the context of the world we live in.

The USIU’s inter-disciplinary Research, Grants and graduate Studies (REGGS) supports initiatives that aim to integrate more education on the topic of ethics and is helping to resolve this issue in Kenya.
