The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mucai Muchiri, today, Friday, 11th November 2022 hosted the Mathira Constituency Member of Parliament, Hon. Eric Mwangi Wamumbi. A number of issues affecting the institution were discussed key among them; the access road to the University, acquisition of extra land for expansion as well as mounting of programmes which the local residents can benefit from.
While giving a brief history of the University, the Vice Chancellor said that the institution had recorded significant growth in terms of programmes offered, student population and staff capacity development noting that over 60% of teaching staff have acquired doctorate degrees. The Vice Chancellor, however, noted that lack of land has hampered infrastructural development of the University. He, nevertheless, said that he was still optimistic that the University would soon acquire extra land.
The MP, on his part, stated that the access road to the University, which is currently under construction, has been catered for in the supplementary budget. He further noted that the Government had committed itself to ensuring that all stalled projects are completed. On the issue of land, the MP committed to engage in public participation with relevant stakeholders as viable options are pursued.
