                           Inspiring to Rebrand Moi University by the new Vc

Yesterday marked another day in the history of Moi University that will forever be a point of reference with the generations to come. An event dubbed the Vice Chancellor’s Oration whose theme was “Rebranding Moi University: Choices and Responsibilities” saw to it the promising of change in our institution. In attendance were various stakeholders, professors, invited vice chancellors, principals of colleges, members of the clergy and the students. The chief guest, Dr. Matiang’i, was represented by Professor Chacha Nyaigoti Chacha who is the Chairman Commission for University Education.
Another key note speaker who was part of this great revolution was the governor’s representative, his deputy whose vibrance and dedication to the university is one of a kind. In his speech, he pointed out that our institution should focus on what we already have instead of coming up with many satellite campuses. He urged the leadership of the institution to be keen on the science courses like medicine and engineering which add value to the Republic of Kenya. Hailing from the city of champions, he urged us to be interested in athletics and produce athletes from our institution. He promised to keep working with the institution and support it in all ways.
His lordship the Bishop of the catholic Diocese of Eldoret, Bishop, Rev, Dr. Cornellius Korir urged everyone to maintain peace in our daily activities. The Chancellor of the University asked everyone to help out so as to make it a success in the rebranding of Moi University. The university council chair, Jenesio Kinyamario promised that the rebranding will see an upheaval that has never been witnessed before.
The Acting Vice Chancellor graced the day by promising a number of things. Some of which include; Full automation of services in the university which he said that will be done by end of January.
Refining the school’s infrastructure
Improving the community relations with the university
Working well with the suppliers and service providers
Having qualified academic staff
He was of the idea that it is better that we have a smaller university that produces quality rather than a big university that is of poor services. He promised to build an ultramodern theatre hall in honour of Prof CJ. Odhiambo who raises Moi Unversity’s flag high.
Notably, he recognised the non-teaching staff and promised to employ one Fransisca Chepkoech whose dedication in cleaning is one of kind yet she is still a casual worker. In the spirit of rebranding, he urged those getting doctorates to go out and make the name of Moi University known then come back later to teach what they have learnt out there. The students were reenergised and hoped that everything that has been said will come to pass.
