Mount Kenya University will build a 200-bed capacity hostel at the Lodwar campus to accommodate students from Uganda and Sudan. During an event to commission the facility, board of Trustee chairman Simon Gicharu, said it is commendable that MKU is the first private university to set base in Turkana.
“We recognise the fact that education is one of the ways this community will find prosperity,” he said. Gicharu said the university is working closely with Turkana County to foster development. “Education is a tool for development and in the foreseeable future, access to basic needs such as water and sanitation in the host community will be achieved,” he said.
National Fund For the Disabled chairperson Wambui Kristina Kenyatta-Pratt, who was the chief guest, said the expansion project will attract growth in the county.
