President William Ruto on Tuesday, November 5 awarded a charter to the National Intelligence and Research University.
During the event, Ruto stated that the university would perform two main functions in the country.
Most importantly, he noted the institution will train intelligence officers to equip and enhance their security skills.
Secondly, the institution was tasked with leading research in security matters.
According to the Head of State, the University will give Kenya a competitive advantage in the region when it comes to security.
“I expect the National Intelligence Research University to support Kenya’s digital economy ambitions by aligning its academic and research programs with Vision 2030, the Fourth Medium-Term Plan, and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda – all of which emphasize the role of technology and research in national development,” he remarked.
