A graduate in Kenya has reportedly received Sh3 million (approximately $85,000 USD) after the University of Nairobi (UoN) mistakenly announced her name during a graduation ceremony. The error occurred on the day of the event, leading to confusion among attendees. The graduate, whose identity was not disclosed in the report, claims she was unaware of the mistake until it was brought to her attention.
