From the article:
Eighty law students of Kenya’s University of Nairobi have gone to court challenging the use of online learning platforms for classes and scheduled examinations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Through their two colleagues, Daniel Chege Kamau and Kelvin Mugambi Kubai, the students are pleading with the court to stop the university from holding virtual online classes, or even scheduling examinations and other academic evaluations through the same platforms.
