The National Defence University-Kenya (NDU-K) convened its 14th Regular Senate Meeting and 10th Senate Board of Examiners (SBE) Meeting at its Seat in Lanet, Nakuru County. The sessions were chaired by the Vice-Chancellor, Lieutenant General Jimson Mutai.

In his address, the Vice-Chancellor commended the University’s continued commitment to fulfilling its mandate through innovative academic programmes and research initiatives. He urged members to remain focused and foster teamwork to ensure the University delivers on its Charter. He emphasized the importance of embedding best practices in institutional processes as the most reliable way to achieve the University's objectives.
