What Uhuru said to Kabarak University graduates

In his opening speech as an official guest, he encouraged them to aim for international leadership and use their skills to strengthen Kenya’s competitiveness in science, technology, and innovation.

The retired president further reminded the graduates that Kenya is already recognized worldwide for leadership in several sectors, and with their skills, they can position the country as a center of innovation, not only in Africa but worldwide.

He commended the institution, created by the late president Moi, for remaining faithful to its founding principles of faith, quality, and service.
