“If the student leaders have a contribution to make, we shall create a mechanism to listen to them," Gachagua. 

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has announced that he will sponsor ten needy students from Pwani University. 

Speaking in Kilifi County on Thursday, April 4, during a Public Lecture at Pwani University, the Deputy President disclosed that the Government was considering opening reforms to the University funding model to capture feedback from students. 

“If the student leaders have a contribution to make, we shall create a mechanism to listen to them. We are willing to receive more ideas to improve,” remarked Gachagua. 

Mr Gachagua said the Government adopted the University Education Funding Model to increase access to education for students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among other issues, the model gives guidance on full, partial, and loan financing based on their financial background.

DP Gachagua at Pwani University. 

During the address, the DP asked the students to shun alcohol, drug, and substance abuse to allow them to concentrate on their studies. 

He also challenged them to remain focused on their studies and take up new challenges as part of growth.

As part of his mentorship plan, DP picked one of the students to join him for his international trip to Rwanda over the weekend.

This is in addition to the student of Muranga University of Technology, who will also be on the trip. The first public lecture was held in Muranga last month.
