During his tour to inspect the varsity level of preparedness and adherence to the Covid-19 guidelines, CS Magoha hailed MKU and Strathmore for their exemplary preparation ahead of January reopening.
However, Prof George Magoha says precise dates for re-opening of learning institutions will be communicated after serious consultations with the Ministry of Health.
Speaking at MKU, Prof Magoha said not only the institution has complied with the set guidelines on re-opening, but has set the bar high and urged other institutions to follow suit.
Speaking during the occassion, MKU Vice Chancellor Prof Stanley Waundo said the University has done all that is required to pave way for a smooth re-opening.
Waundo added that they have developed strategies for containment measures which were reached after constituting a Health Technical Advisory Committee.
However, VC expressed his gratitude to the CS for the heartening comment saying they will continue improving their standards ahead of the re-opening.
He further revealed that they have fully integrated online learning for programs that do not require practical saying it is cheaper and the best way to go.
On his side, MKU Don Dr Vincent Gaitho said the endorsement by the CS was a vote of confidence for the good work they are doing saying as an institution they have always underscored quality and service.
Prof Magoha later visited Thika Technical Training Institute where he pointed out areas that need improvement ahead of the re-opening.
Magoha said although he is impressed by the progress the institute has made, there are areas that need urgent interventions.
