Abstract
Mount Kenya Universi-
ty (MKU) has given the
drive for peace in Africa a
major fillip. This is after
hosting an International Conference on
Peace, Security and Social Enterprise,
which established a think tank named
African Consortium for Peace (AC4P).
The university donated Ksh5 million
towards the consortium’s establishment.
AC4P is a platform to deliberate and
promote a peaceful future for Africa.
MKU sponsored the conference to the
tune of Ksh10 million, and teamed up
with several partners to make it a huge
success.

and Coordination of National Govern-
ment, Major Gen. (Rtd.) Joseph Nkai-
ssery, the chief guest at the May confer-
ence, termed the conference as important
and timely, owing to the fact that it
came just ahead of Kenya’s 2017 General
Election, to be held in August.
He added that the meeting was also
“timely because the idea of engaging in
dialogue on peaceful interventions for
sustainable development in the contem-
porary society and especially in Kenya
today cannot be gainsaid”.
The CS emphasised that because peace
and security were central requirements
