Chief Guest Paul Russo, the Group Chief Executive Officer of KCB Group PLC, urged graduates to lead with ethics and purpose.
"Transformation signifies your intellectual and moral growth; innovation represents the creativity and courage to shape a better world; and integrity remains the foundation of enduring success," Russo said.
He added, "Be bold enough to ask 'why not?' and visionary enough to pioneer change. Let your success be measured by the difference you make in your communities."
His sentiments were echoed by Google Africa's Regional Director for Sub-Saharan Africa, Charles Murito, who commended KeMU for embracing technology and positioning itself as a hub for ethical innovation.
"The launch of new market-driven programmes such as Data Science and efforts to establish the first Google Academy in a Kenyan university reflect KeMU's responsiveness to the digital age," he said.
Vice Chancellor Rev Prof John Kobia Ataya congratulated the 3,238 graduates saying they reflect KeMU's mission of transforming lives through faith, excellence, and innovation.
"Your journey has been more than receiving an education; it has been a transformative process dedicated to enlightening your minds and strengthening your character," he said. "Be thinkers who question, innovators who build, and leaders who serve."
Over the past 25 years, KeMU has grown into a leading private university with campuses in Meru, Nairobi and Mombasa.
It was the first private university in Kenya to train and graduate medical doctors and ranks among Africa's Top 100 universities, according to UniRank (2023).
The university now serves students from over 34 countries and has produced over 30,000 alumni in leadership, business, healthcare, and community development worldwide.
Applications are open for the January 2026 intake across certificate, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Marking its silver jubilee, KeMU reaffirmed its commitment to shaping competent, ethical, and innovative graduates ready to transform Kenya and the world.
