The highly decorated event, which attracted government officials and political dignitaries, was Dr. Sitienei’s first-ever graduation to preside over since she became the Chairperson of the MMUST 7th Council. The theme of the ceremony was ‘Focusing on the Student to Scale the Heights of Excellence.’ It was an opportunity for MMUST to share its institutional agenda with the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, who promised to implement a raft of infrastructural projects, including laying of Cabro blocks on all the roads within the University, as well as the construction of the proposed footbridge.
