Present at the event were Interior CS nominee Kithure Kindiki, Governor Muthomi Njuki, and MPs Patrick Munene (Chuka Igamba Ng’ombe), Mpuru Aburi (Tigania East), among other leaders.

Cheruiyot, who addressed students of the Chuka and Meru Campuses, pledged to continue providing resources to expand the College’s facilities for quality learning. He, however, challenged students to maintain discipline, noting that the College leadership is committed to meeting their academic needs.

Mr. Cheruiyot was flanked by Board Directors Hardlyne Lusui and Eunice Karanja.

CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch challenged the students to utilize the opportunity presented to them to study and excel in their careers.

He noted that KMTC graduates are highly sought after in the job market and urged students to take advantage of the opportunity to access local and international jobs.
