The MMUST delegation was led by the Dean of students, Dr. Bernadette Abwao, who noted that the visit was fruitful as the student leadership had an opportunity to discuss and steer the University development agenda with the leaders from Western region.

“We have discussed with leaders the need of working together to ensure that MMUST receives enough endowment funds to sustain the needy students and fast truck University development projects,” said Dr. Abwao. An endowment fund is an investment fund established by a foundation that makes consistent drawings from invested money. The money in the endowment fund is often used by Universities, non-profit organizations, churches and hospitals for sustainability of their development projects. 

The MMUSO President, Mr. Brian Odhiambo, applauded the University Management for enabling them to have such an opportunity with leaders at the National Assembly, saying that it has equipped them with key leadership expertise. Mr. Odhiambo said that through interactions with the Members of Parliament at the National Assembly, they have learnt a lot of things on the legislative processes in the National Assembly, which has motivated them to join the national leadership after their studies. The team was also accompanied by Mr. Oscar Waswa, Senior Administrator from the office of the Dean of students.

The MMUSO executive committee members present included Mr. Brian Odhiambo -  the MMUSO Chairperson, Ms. Nancy Mwendwa - Vice Chairperson, Mr. Stephen Ndirangu -  MMUSO Secretary General, Mr. Gilbert Nyabuto - Treasurer, Mr. Fabian Lenyasunya – Co-Curricular Secretary, Ms. Tevivona Ayien – Academic Secretary, Norman Opiyo – Special Interests Secretary and Mr. James Ombati – Speaker
