Makerere University has learnt with deepest sadness of the passing of one of our most outstanding alumnus, former President of the Republic of Kenya H.E. Dr. Mwai Kibaki.

The memory of this Gallant son of Makerere University and now blessed ancestor will forever be etched in our hearts.

H.E. Dr. Kibaki graduated top of his class with a First Class Honours Degree (BA) in Economics in 1955. He was a resident of University Hall.

In recognition of his distinguished and outstanding contribution to public service at the national, regional and international levels, Makerere University bestowed her Honorary Doctorate of Laws upon H.E. Dr. Kibaki on 24^th January 2012 during the 62^nd Graduation Ceremony.

Makerere University is proud of the legacy of her Gallant Alumnus, H.E. Dr. Mwai Kibaki. We believe that he lived a life that resonated with the values upon which Makerere University was founded.

We fondly remember when in August 2012, H.E. Dr. Kibaki paid us a visit as Chief Alumnus, as Makerere University celebrated 90 years of existence.

We had hoped that H.E. Dr. Kibaki would join us once again, as we celebrate 100 years of Makerere University this October, but he finished this earthly race, a life well lived.

Rest well Mzee Emilio Stanley Mwai Kibaki
