College Leadership Hailed as Growth Strategy Takes Center Stage
The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Deputy Director, Finance, Planning and Administration, Ms. Lucy Chebungei, has lauded College Principals for their outstanding leadership, citing the successful graduation of over 22,000 students in 2025 as a testament to the College’s robust governance.
Speaking on behalf of the CEO, Dr. Kelly Oluoch, during the official opening of the Principals’ Strategic Retreat happening in Mombasa from January 12 to 16, 2026, Ms. Chebungei highlighted the milestone as a reflection of deep-rooted commitment to academic excellence and teamwork across all campuses.
The retreat, aimed at charting a path to the College’s long-term resilience, focuses heavily on strategic planning. Ms. Chebungei urged the Principals to adopt a forward-thinking mindset to ensure the College remains competitive in an evolving educational landscape.
“We must think beyond the present and plan strategically for the future,” Ms. Chebungei urged. “It is essential that leadership takes ownership of both current operations and future engagements to ensure the College remains resilient and responsive to change,” she added.
To support this growth, the Deputy Director revealed that the management has already completed a comprehensive collection of staff data from all campuses. This data is expected to serve as a roadmap for future resource allocation and recruitment.
“This data will guide Management in making informed decisions on additional staffing and resource allocation to support our growing student numbers and institutional demands,” she added.
The Deputy Director called for transparency during the sessions, emphasizing that the institution’s challenges can only be solved through “honest dialogue.” She encouraged the Principals to engage in constructive discussions to craft practical, long-term solutions for their respective campuses.
Also in attendance were KMTC senior managers.
The retreat continues through the week, with sessions focused on operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and enhancing the student experience across the College’s expanding network.
