Chancellor's Speech during 2014 graduation ceremony at UoK

It is with great pleasure that I am presiding over this second graduation ceremony of the University of Kabianga and the fourth one to be held on this ground. This graduation ceremony marks yet another milestone in the history and development of this great University.

On this great and joyful occasion, I wish to congratulate the second batch of graduands of University of Kabianga.The University as a whole has reason to celebrate this milestone as it sends out the second set of graduates of the University.

Indeed, graduands, we are confident that you have acquired and learnt a lot while at the University.You are now part of an important, human resource necessary for growth and development of our country.

Your accomplishment following your hard work cannot go unnoticed. This significant achievement could not have been possible without the unwavering support and encouragement of your parents, guardians, spouses, friends and sponsors whom I believe are taking pride in you today. Today's occasion is a clear evidence of your hard work and commitment of lecturers and staff of the University.

It is gratifying to note that since 2009, when the then Kabianga University College became a constituent college of Moi University, There has been significant growth in student numbers, rapid expansion of education facilities and progrmmes which I believe have contributed to the achievement of graduands on this day.

Allow me to most sincerely appreciate the Government through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology for its continued support to the University. I do appeal for the increased support and funding to the institution from the government for continued and sustained growth of the University.

To the graduands, today as we award you various diplomas and confer you various degrees, consider it a great achievement given that much has been invested in you. Many people in the society will rely on you for support and encouragement because they have sacrificed to make you what you are today. I am convinced that you have all it take to demonstrate good character and values that you have acquired and nurtured while at this great University.

Today is your day: you have worked for it, celebrate and cherish it for through it, you will find the beginning of another life.

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS!
