Telkom to provide tailored mobile data solution to more than 40,000 members of faculty, staff and students, across the University’s 13 campuses in the country;

The University of Nairobi is ramping up its e-learning programme, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Telkom Kenya has launched a customised and reliable mobile data solution for the students, members of faculty and staff of the University of Nairobi (UoN), to enable continuity of learning, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The University of Nairobi (UoN) has drafted legislative proposals, which include a clause shielding employees from being fired during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Covid-19 Response and Management Draft Bill also seeks to bar Kenya Power and all water companies from disconnecting crucial services to their clients due to non-payment until the country is declared coronavirus free.

The Bill also pushes for reconnection for those cut off from power and water before the pandemic was declared, and compels providers to offer the services until Covid-19 is defeated.

The University’s Centre for Advanced Studies in Environmental Law & Policy (CASELAP) is among twenty global networks recently launched to tackle global challenges.

Funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Global Challenges Research Fund, CASELAP is set to develop practical solutions to address issues such as the prevalence of single-use plastic in Kenya while the other networks will tackle hurricane recovery in the Caribbean and water management across Africa among others.
