Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore gave an inspirational speech to USIU graduates on Saturday, challenging them to figure out what mattered to them and work towards achieving there goals.
He said that he applied this principle in running the successful firm to deliver value for customers, shareholders and employees.
Mr. Collymore, speaking at the 34th graduation ceremony, told the graduands, “It is those times when you feel like the door might not open that you must adapt,”
1215 graduands were awarded undergraduate and graduate degrees in 17 programs – the largest graduating class ever since USIU was established in 1970. Among those graduating today was Chairman of the Media Owners Association and Chairman of Radio Africa Group Mr. Kiprono Kittony with a Global Executive MBA.
USIU’s Vice Chancellor Professor Freida Brown said graduands must be ready to meet the expectations society has of them.
“You have acquired the tools, skills and values to enable you to make a positive impact on your professions and communities,” said the Vice Chancellor,
She emphasized that USIU’s multicultural environment created graduates who can have a positive impact on society. “We celebrate because the multidisciplinary nature of our curriculum will enable you to bring a broad, critical perspective to bear on the challenges you will encounter in real life,” said Professor Brown.

I have asked this question many times but have never gotten any . When were elections held in CoFEK to make this briefcase expert the Sec-Gen? Who funds the organisation? When will the accounts be made public?
Stephen Mutoro is just more proof that Kenya is a country full of quacks whose only expertise is the speed of registering associations with a catchy name. He is hoping to use it as a platform to siphon funds from gullible donors or to jump into political office.Until he comes clean on these fundamental questions, Mutoro has no moral authority to speak for consumers except his immediate family.

the tragedy with this country is of people putting others down whenever and wherever, i am amazed that despite the frequency of teachers strikes in this country, you pick the doctors strike as a starting point of arguments against strikes. has it ever occurred to you that:
1. doctors work harder and difficult and often dangerous contions, often putting their lives on the line
2.unlike doctors, our legislators earn more, for what job do they do?
3. the strike is not just about pay , but mostly about other fundamental issues, most of which touch on mortality rateof our patients, poor service delivery due to a very high patientss to doctors ratio. i would go on and on until the chickens come home to roost, but i will reffer you to the KMPDU website so that you can be able to read and understand our proposals before you write another article that will not enlighten the public.
