Economist David Ndii mocks William Ruto's PhD qualification
Economist David Ndii has strongly criticised Deputy President William Ruto's academic credentials and termed them as "a hallmark of insecure scoundrel".
Ndii got into the rant on Thursday, November 8, while responding to a tweet by Ethiopian Prime Minister (PM) Abiy Ahmed who, in the post, included the acronym PhD in his name.

The NASA strategist said it was unnecessary for Ahmed to tell people that he was doctorate degree holder urging that it was a sign of academic credentialism.
"H.E. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) is holding discussions with high ranking military commanders this morning, marking the close of deliberations that have been taking place at different levels within the Ministry of Defence," the post by Ethiopian PM read.

Angered by the statement, Ndii responded by branding the post as a bad way of relating with his (PM's) audience.
"May I suggest you drop (PhD). Its bad PR. Your PM does not need credentialism - his leadership speaks for itself.
Academic credentialism in Africa is the hallmark of insecure scoundrels like Grace Mugabe and William Ruto," the economist reacted

TUKO.co.ke, understands that on Wednesday, October 24, Ruto defended his PhD thesis on the influence of pollution on riparian land.
Ruto, already boasts of a Bachelors Degree in Botany and Zoology and a Masters Degree in Plant Ecology from the University of Nairobi.
The DP failed to graduate in 2017 for his PhD and when asked why, he claimed that he had failed to meet some required minimum threshold.
He is set to be conferred with the top degree in the next graduation ceremony at the same institution.
Ndii's sentiments were met by mixed reactions and among those who responded castigated him for what they termed as petty criticism.
Some, however, echoed his sentiment by pocking more holes in the DP's academic crowns
Your hatred and bile actually makes me question your levels of sanity," a tweep identified as Eric Ciuku wrote.

True Patriot claimed that Ndii was just envious of the DP's social, economic academic and political status.
"When will you reach that level of being called deputy president? It seems you are envious of Ruto. Easy ! Easy !Easy! Daktari," tweeted Patriot.
Ndii, however, sought to clarify, that he earned his own PhD 20 years ago and that he never uses it to boast.
The Economist was emphatic that earning the degree does not make anyone any better but what they do with it.
He has earned it. He has the right to use it. Don't impose your discretion on others.
I have also earned one. And "may I suggest" is not an imposition. Now run along and earn one, then you qualify to participate in the conversation.
eti what!!! like who and who again? hahaha....@WilliamsRuto is not even a Dr. yet but already uwivu imewakubikwa. Ni kwa Mungu tu.
I earned my PhD 20+ years ago, why would I envy an academic fraud?
I never use it. Other people do. Fighting credentialism in Africa is difficult. It offends those who want to use them.
Wilson Shollei contradicted Ndii's onslaught towards the DP by saying that if Ruto earned his PhD honestly, then it was worth being celebrated.
"I think no one should be berated for holding a PhD. If acquired legitimately, then it should be celebrated. It is also okay for Ruto to work hard and earn a PhD and it should not be correlated to any leadership position," Shollei wrote.
Here are other responses on Ndii's jab towards academic credentialism :

I've always wondered why many people in Africa love to include their titles. It's just horribly wierd

Can't agree more. Ethiopia PM doesn't need academic credentials to stand out. The amazing work he continues to do speaks for itself.
For William, search for the photos of him 'defending' his PhD dissertation and the panel ( who are by the way gov't employees) appeared scared.

Where does DP Ruto come in this? This terrible hatred of the DP by ODM scoundrels like David Ndii , Gladwell Otieno & other ODM goons has reduced them to zombies..
He has earned it. He has the right to use it. Don't impose your discretion on others.
