Hats off,Mzee.PhD ya "namba" si mchezo (especially for a poor me who got a luck escape with a D in maths in O'level).Congratulations.And I,being a UDSM graduate myself,do agree with you that it's highly unlikely for mtu mwenye degree feki to escape the UDSM's strict vetting system.However,hata kwenye mfumo bora kabisa bado kuna possibility ya wajanja (crooks?) kujipenyeza na pengine kutakuwa na mtu mmoja wawili ambao academic credentials zao ni questionable.As mchangiaji mmoja alivyosema hapo juu,reputation ya UDSM bado iko juu.
