President William Ruto on Thursday, May 2, awarded a charter to Tangaza University and Management University of Africa at State House Nairobi.
The Head of State noted that the government was prepared to support universities offering online and virtual learning.
According to the President, this would not only enrich the country's human resources but also foster an inclusive knowledge society.
“We must continue striving to meet the ever-growing demand for higher education, focusing on elevating those at the bottom of the social and economic pyramid through access to quality education,” remarked President Ruto.

The President noted that the implementation of a 100,000km fibre optic network project countrywide is proceeding well and would support online learning, e-commerce, and digital jobs.
“Today, we stand united under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, a bold initiative that leverages our human resources to spur rapid economic growth and enhance the productivity of our labour force,” he stated.
With the award of charters to the two private universities, he said, Kenya now has 64 chartered universities, solidifying the country's status as a regional hub for higher education.
“This reaffirms our commitment to practical applied learning that prepares leaders across all sectors,” said Ruto.
