  I am glad to note the appointment of Prof. F. Karani to the position of the Chancellor of Maseno University. Indeed, Prof Karani has not only played her role in the area of academic studies but also in the field of extra curriculum development.

May I therefore take this opportunity to congratulate Prof for a job well done and wish her well in the new position.
