The Department of Economics and Development studies organized for mentorship talk for its students on career opportunities on 30th November, 2023.

Guest speakers were:

1) Kennedy Oliver Mwenda - PFMRS

2) Jackson Kiprono - National Treasury

During the talk students were sensitized on the available opportunities on the three organizations and other government organs. The KRA speaker focused on reforms in Resource Mobilization. She educated students on the reforms to boost tax revenues as well on career opportunities in KRA such as the Graduate Training program.

Other topics covered included;

1. Public Procurement Reforms & Reporting and oversight of Reforms.
