  1. It is impressive to see KEMU Nairobi Campus hosting the United Nations Intervarsity Debate, which must have been a great opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and public speaking skills while discussing important global issues. Such events are vital for universities as they help students to broaden their perspectives and learn from diverse viewpoints, as well as showcase the institution’s commitment to promoting academic excellence and intellectual discourse.
