Dr. Mutua, whose talk was based on the topic ‘Choices’, noted that choices have consequences and advised the students to make wise choices, work hard, be prayerful, disciplined, uphold integrity and above all write down their dreams.

 At the same time, Dr Mutua appealed to the government to wipe out betting and gambling. He observed that betting and gambling is a menace and it is a ticking time bomb if not addressed as a matter of urgency.

The CEO called on Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Fred Matiang’i to stand firm and wipe out the betting and gambling menace.
