The chief guest is already part of the story. Citizen TV journalist Waihiga Mwaura addressed graduands at the graduation dinner on Saturday 7 November at the Argyle Grand Hotel, with his wife, gospel singer Joyce Omondi, sharing photos from the evening on 9 November.

The dinner was entry by card only, with navy blue, white and gold as the theme colours.
