Chuka University and NCRC Pen a Memorandum of Understanding

Chuka University and the National Crime Research Center (NCRC) penned a Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U) aimed at fostering research and mentorship opportunities for students. The exercise was graced by Prof. Henry Mutembei, Vice-Chancellor and Dr. Mutuma Ruteere, Director and CEO of NCRC.

The NCRC representatives delivered a subsequent public lecture attended by Faculty members, including the Dean and lecturers, alongside the entire student body. During the lecture, key contemporary issues such as the rising cases of femicide, abductions, and the recent declaration of Section 226 on attempted suicide as unconstitutional were addressed. C.S. Wanjiku Mwai also encouraged students to explore careers in corporate governance, highlighting the role of Certified Secretaries in the field.

As part of the initiative, NCRC announced mentorship programs and attachment opportunities for Chuka University law students, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to practical legal education and research. The M.O.U marks a significant step in strengthening collaboration between academia and crime research institutions, offering students valuable exposure and career-building opportunities.

The partnership is expected to enhance legal research and professional development, preparing students for impactful roles in crime prevention, governance, and policy formulation.
