| The speaker of Kenya's parliament has directed the education ministry to investigate allegations that a university in the country has been forcing Muslim students to attend Christian religious services. | |
| Daystar University, a private Christian institution on the outskirts of the capital, Nairobi, is also accused of withholding grades of students who refuse to attend chapel services. | |
| The university has denied this and said it does not withhold grades of those who do not attend the chapel, according to local media. | |
| The allegations were raised in parliament by Kenyan MP Mohammed Ali, who said the policy violates the constitutional right to religious freedom. | |
| Education Minister Ezekiel Machogu relayed the university's response, saying: "The university argued that all the students are admitted with full knowledge that the university is a Christian institution with its own philosophy, ethos and core values". | |
| "Upon admission, students sign a code of conduct by which they agree to abide by the university's Christian values and commitment to participate in the university's spiritual disciplines," he added, citing the university. | |
| The university also told Mr Machogu that students are required to attend at least 75% of chapel services each semester. | |
| The education ministry will also investigate reports by Mr Ali that the institution promotes LGBTQ practices by incorporating LGBTQ issues in its curriculum. | |
