The rescheduling of certificate collection comes just days after JKUAT postponed another major event. On Monday, January 20, the university announced the postponement of a planned public lecture by Chancellor Prof. Joseph Mathu Ndung'u, originally scheduled for January 28, 2026.

The public lecture, titled "Research and Innovation- the winding pathways to commercialization," was to be delivered by Prof. Ndung'u at the Main Hall of JKUAT at 10:00 AM.

The event was intended to outline key stages that transform research innovations into commercial ventures, the challenges of partnerships with commercial entities, and the government's role in promoting innovation.

"The planned Public Lecture by our Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Mathu Ndung'u, BVM, PhD, CorrFRSE, scheduled for 28th January 2026, has been postponed to a later date. We apologize for any inconvenience caused," the university stated.

No specific date was provided for the rescheduled Chancellor's public lecture.
