Council of Rongo University

Governing Structure of the University: Understanding the Role and Mandate of the 7-Member Council

The University’s governance is guided by the Universities Act of 2012 and Mwongozo guidelines. At its core lies a 7-member Council, appointed in line with these regulatory frameworks. This Council acts as the university’s supreme governing authority, entrusted by the Government to oversee asset management, resource allocation, and developmental endeavors.

Responsibilities of the Council encompass the establishment and maintenance of robust management frameworks, provision of strategic policy guidance, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and governance standards. Upholding accountability in governance, accounting, and auditing practices also falls within its purview.
