It gives me great honour to join the Mount Kenya University fraternity during the 25th Graduation Ceremony. I recognize in a very special way the incredible journey of this great University. Determined to augment the Government’s efforts to increase access to affordable, relevant and quality university education, Mount Kenya University chose the path less travelled. I congratulate the University for making great strides over the 25 years of its existence to build an international brand. Today, the University has partnered with several universities across the continent and globally not only to provide quality education but also to facilitate a seamless transition of graduates into the labour market, at home and internationally.
