Nairobi, 31 October, 2022 / 9:30 pm (ACI Africa).
The Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) has been challenged to have, as an objective, the formation of ethical and “value-based future leaders”.
Archbishop Philip Anyolo of Nairobi Archdiocese who made the challenge during CUEA’s 41st graduation ceremony on October 28 decried the tendency to shun family and religious values.
“We as a university should pursue avenues of growth in academics and research only if that growth gives us an opportunity to form our students into ethical leaders and ambassadors of our values,” Archbishop Anyolo said.
Addressing himself to the 2,500 candidates who were graduating from the Catholic institution belonging to the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA), the Kenyan Archbishop called for carrying on of good practices from CUEA.
“Graduands, as you take your first steps into the rest of your life after such a great achievement, please remember the values CUEA has taught you over the years you have been a student in this university,” the 66-year-old Kenyan Archbishop who started his Episcopal Ministry in February 1996 as the Bishop of Kenya’s Kericho Diocese said.
