MKU marks 15 years of charter status with grand thanksgiving service

Mount Kenya University (MKU) held a Thanksgiving Service at the Mwai Kibaki Convention Centre (MKCC) to celebrate 15 years since receiving its university Charter.

The event, organised by the Office of Chaplaincy, brought together students, staff, and representatives from all religious groups within the university for a collective moment of gratitude and worship.

Prof. Simon Gicharu, MKU Founder and Chairperson of the Board of Directors, served as the chief guest. In his address, he commended the university community for its sustained growth and resilience over the years.

As part of the celebrations, Prof. Gicharu presented essential equipment to various religious groups at the university, a gesture aimed at strengthening their missions and enhancing spiritual engagement across MKU campuses.

The service featured a sermon by preacher Joseph Nzeketha, focusing on gratitude, unity, and the significance of the Lenten journey. The gathering underscored MKU’s commitment to fostering an environment where spiritual, academic, and social development coexist.

Among the distinguished attendees were MKU Vice Chancellor Prof. Deogratius Jaganyi, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (APIA) Prof. Peter Kirira, and other senior university officials.

The 2026 Thanksgiving celebration marked a significant milestone for MKU, as the community came together to honor its journey, celebrate achievements, and reaffirm its commitment to faith and service.
