Students,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

I greet you all in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m glad to join
you in this 1st School of Law Luncheon, an initiative of law
students in the honor of the first graduating class. Kabarak
University has special interest of positioning this school to
international standards and produce lawyers with strong
ethics and integrity, build on Biblical Christian values. The
students who have just completed their law degree in
Kabarak University should know that they are not like
other lawyers. We have properly nurtured you to be the
salt and light of the judiciary in Kenya anchored on your
legal education from a Biblical perspective.

I now charge, as you leave this University with the words
of Joshua 1:7-8 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful
to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn
from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful
wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your
lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful
to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous
and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and
courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the
Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps the most profound attribute
of Kabarak University is indomitable resilience in
4
developing responsible men and women who are guided
by Biblical Christian values. The important lesson here is
that our institutional, moral and Intellectual watersheds
must be built upon Biblical morality and upon Jesus our
Lord and Savior. You need to go out there and
demonstrate that you are built the foundation of Jesus
Christ the solid rock. May I remind you of our moral code,
which states clearly, that we purpose at all times and in all
places to set apart in our hearts Jesus Christ as Lord. Let
this be engraved in your hearts through out your life.

This ensures that when the rebound moment finally comes
calling, you are able to stand the test of time. I expect you
to do this with commitment and to the best of your ability.
To the rest of the students I wish to applaud you for
resilience you have shown in your academic pursue. You
have clearly shown that you are unique lawyers in the
making. The management is committed to give you every
support you require to excel in your career.
I wish to recognize the members of staff who have been
your role models and have done all they could to prepare,
6
nurture and train you to come out as top lawyers in Kenya
and in the international job market. I wish also to thank
our guest speaker who has found time out of his busy
schedule to come and grace this occasion. All guests who
have come to join us, thank you very much and God bless
you. | en_US |
