Mount Kenya University has put into place a comprehensive policy that will enable the establishment to generate third stream revenue through its income creation activities.
This goes hand in hand with the current university’s planned policy that is being implemented up to 2029.
According to statements made by David Serem, MKU Council Chair, the freshly finalized Enterprise Development Policy will outline an understandable framework on how the university should go about achieving this goal.
The main purpose is to enlarge the university’s monetary foundation so as to sustain the institution’s activities and its obligations that include: teaching, research and community service.
The Enterprise Development Policy is not the only strategy the university employs as there are other approaches the university has developed in regard to many of the operations and activities that the organization is supposed to undertake.
Mount Kenya University has financed and taken part in various projects such as the Covid-19 Diagnostic Centre and Molecular Biology Laboratory which has been of great importance to the community and the country at large in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Apart from having a profound impact on human and applied sciences research, the centre is approved and licensed by Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologist Board (KMLTTB) and the Ministry of Health with valid accreditation to upload Covid-19 test results and legitimate travel documents.
