The governor of Meru is a charismatic, strategic thinker who is passionate about the empowerment of the people of Meru and making the region great. In an analogy about a successful farmer who had distributed his quality seeds to all his neighbors, without the fear of them competing his produce; the Pro chancellor taught two key morals. Firstly the farmer understood that, his crops would be pollinated by his neighbors’ crops. Thus, the surest way to ensure quality produce was by ensuring that the neighbors’ crops were of high quality. The analogy above demonstrates that MKU Meru campus understands the need to have a corona free environment for it to succeed as a beacon of disseminating quality education. Secondly, the moon can always borrow light from the sun and never outshine it. Highlighting the importance of having a campus in Meru town, the pro-chancellor slogan dubbed, bringing the Mountain Home underscored that Meru is the home of Mount Kenya and as such urged the community to support Meru campus to grow.
The Pro-chancellor’s message and university’s benevolence is a clear indicator that, MKU understands the importance of using corporate citizenship to bring positive, measurable change to both the community around Meru and its environs. The donations are meant to boost the strength of the county government of Meru in the fight against Covid -19 pandemic. Meru campus has demonstrated that institutions that use corporate citizenship to strengthen community partnerships are not only able to foster a workplace culture and deepen employee commitment, but are also able to build enduring relationships in the communities within which they do operate in, a quality that benefits both the institutions and communities alike.
