Abstract: Each year, a large number of undergraduates qualify from public universities in Kenya. At least 10% of these new graduates are expected to enroll into graduate programmes as recommended by CUE. However, less than 10% transit to graduate levels. Further, those enrolled for the graduate programmes either spend a lot of time or do not sometimes complete their courses in scheduled time. CUE has suggested that students who delay in completing their courses in universities be surcharged for the delay. Sometimes these delays have been blamed on the characteristics of the universities themselves. This dilemma has left graduate students with challenges in deciding which university has the ideal characteristics that can help them complete their courses within the stipulated time. This study sought........

Abstract: In the real sense of the word, democracy entails participation of the demos (the people) not only in the due process of choosing those who represent them or in empowering the leaders, but more about the process of dialogue which see the people partaking in the legislation of the laws that govern them. It is in this primordial sense that we can truly say that democracy is the government of the people by the people and for the people. In essence, popular political participation lies at the core of democracy for without it no government can really claim legitimacy. So political participation becomes the defining characteristics of democracy. Accordingly, democracy is said to be practiced where political authority is used for the good of the masses in a polity. Regrettably in Nigeria, although theoretically it claims to be an example of a democratic society and as such its goals as enshrined in the constitution........
