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.
