President Uhuru launches the first Military University in Kenya (The National Defence University-Kenya, NDU-K)

January 10, 2026 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday May 27th, 2021 awarded a charter to the National Defence College, making the military institution the first specialist university in the country under the Universities Act of 2012.

The new National Defence University-Kenya (NDU-K) will offer graduate and post-graduate training to local and foreign, military and civilian leaders on current and emerging security challenges.

Speaking during the award ceremony at the instution in Karen, Nairobi County, the President said NDU-K will fortify the country’s defence forces and improve their skills in military and civil diplomacy.

Besides training military leaders, the President said NDU-K will lay the foundation for the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to contribute more to internal civil needs such as humanitarian response.

“As you know, our country has suffered a lot from terrorist attacks in the past few years; not to mention the threats posed by transnational organised crimes and intra-state conflicts.

“Physical attacks are not our only threats; there are virtual threats to our security as well such as cyber-warfare and hostile takeover of state electronic systems,” the President said.

The Head of State assured of the Government’s commitment to supporting NDU-K meet its training, research and service goals.

At the same venue, the President presided over the graduation ceremony of 55 senior military officers and civil servants from Burundi, Malawi, Nepal, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Kenya, and delivered a public lecture in his capacity as the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces.

It the lecture titled, “Developing Africa’s Maritime Security Architecture: Opportunities for Security and Prosperity”, the President said Africa must invest more in maritime transport for it to benefit from its vast natural resources.

Noting that maritime transport is the most affordable mode of transporting bulk cargo, the President said over 90 percent of world trade is powered water transport.

“…coastal shipping provides important mass transit services for cargo and commuters, helping to decongest highways and attendant risks. This not only enhances competitiveness of export goods but also lowers the cost of imports,” the President said.

The President said the ongoing expansion of Mombasa Port, the recent launch of the new Lamu Port and the ongoing revival of Kisumu Port was informed by the growing importance of maritime transport to Kenya’s economy.

Alongside investments in new and bigger ports, the President rallied African countries to also focus on tackling marine pollution, sustainable coastal tourism and maritime security so as to benefit more from the continent’s vast blue economy resources.

“Safe and secure seas, governed by fair and transparent regulations, are a fundamental requirement to guarantee the protection of Africa’s maritime interests, assets and infrastructure,” the President said.

The President, who was accompanied by Head of Public Service Dr Joseph Kinyua, Cabinet Secretaries Monica Juma (Defence), George Magoha (Education) and Fred Matiang’i (Interior), and Attorney General Kihara Kariuki, was received at the college by Chief of Defence Forces General Robert Kibochi.

Degree Requirement Sparks Mixed Reactions

January 8, 2026 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

The requirement that aspirants for elective positions in both the national and County Assemblies must be degree holders continue to elicit mixed reaction in the country.

In Kiambu, most people seem to be contended with the new requirement on grounds that leadership entails knowledgeability to articulate legislative duties and oversight.

Doctor Robert Oduori, a senior lecturer at Moi University says education system is meant for such purposes as to mold leaders. Quoting school mottoes such as “education is the key to success,” he stated that a country cannot succeed without enlightened leaders. Otherwise, what would be the reason to subject a whole nation and have illiterate leaders.

He added that with a degree, one is exposed to different environments and people therefore have knowledge on how to deal with different situations. Moreover, development cannot begin from the highest level, but should rather begin from the base, where the MPs and MCAs hold proper academic credentials.

Samuel Muana, a resident of Kiambu town said that degrees should be a qualification because the MCAs and MPs represent people and should have knowledge of what people need.

He however expressed his doubt about the authenticity of the degrees, stating that there is very little time for the aspirants to acquire degrees legally and many might end up forging them in the backstreet. He wishes that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission would subject the degrees to verification through certified agencies prior to clearance to run.

Valentine Wanjiru, who is a graduate and a fruit vendor at the Kiambu market supports the new law to have MCAS and MPS hold degrees saying many youth were educated but getting wasted due to lack of employment opportunities.

The new law came to foece recently after it was shelved during the 2017 polls has been pending after aspirants who did not have degrees requested for time to acquire the required academic qualification. Speaking during the launch of the IEBC annual voters Education Week on 14^th June in Bomas of Kenya, the IEBC chairperson n Wafula Chebukati said that the law would take effect in the 2022 general elections.
