Former Mount Kenya University (MKU) graduates who have failed to collect their certificates due to fee arrears have been granted their certificates unconditionally.

The university’s Founder and Chairman Board of Directors, Prof Simon Gicharu, instructed the university to give the graduates certificates to enable them to look for jobs.

The move was necessary to address the large number of certificates lying uncollected due to fee arrears, which restricted them from getting employed.

The university will forfeit Sh82 million to a good course, but the money will be directed to the Chancellor’s kitty, which helps educate learners from poor backgrounds.

The university will also start a Bachelor of Nautical Sciences course to train ship captains and officers at the Malindi campus.

Higher Education and Research Principal Secretary Dr. Beatrice Inyangala emphasised the need for universities to invest in the research, science, technology, and innovation ecosystem to enable the country to achieve economic development.

MKU Vice Chancellor Prof. Daegratius Jaganyi emphasised the university’s commitment to building strategic partnerships to strengthen research and innovation both locally and with international institutions.
