colleagues Prof. Isaac Mbeche, Prof. Lucy Irungu – and Prof. Agnes Mwang’ombe all top managers. – From my experience with them in management, they are all competent. However only one vacancy was available. I was the one who was appointed. I therefore, thank them for taking part in the recruitment process, and most for the support that they have accorded me in the past and remarkably since my appointment was announced. I reach out to you, all staff, students and other stakeholders. It is time for us to join hands in building this University as epitomized in our motto: Unitate et Labore. Indeed, our first task is to remain united and to focus our energies on running the University. Ladies and Gentlemen, the word derives ‘University’ from Latin, meaning a kind of universe ‘Universitas’, and a self-contained whole. By the late 14th century, the word had come to refer to the idea ‘universitas’ of a self-regulating community of scholars and students whose corporate existence was sanctioned by civil or ecclesiastical authority.
