Michael Joseph takes over as Maseno university chancellor

Former Safaricom boss Michael Joseph will be inaugurated as the Maseno University Chancellor on Wednesday during the institution’s 14th graduation.

Mr Joseph was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta in January and would take over from Prof Frida Karani who held the position since 2009.

His appointment took effect on January 6. Mr Joseph is the third chancellor of the varsity that was chartered in 2001, while the first was Mr William Wamalwa.

Mr Joseph will preside over the graduation of 2,048 students, public relations officer Jasper Otieno said.
