“I say this because in the world today many are giving into the sin of greed which has spread immorality across the world. The job market is grappling with employees and business persons who keep scheming to swindle their employees and society,” he said adding that “You have been formed under the banner of truth. Carry this banner with pride and conviction as you go out to the job market. Be truthful, honest, witness to life, let all of our University’s core values guide you in your professional, personal and religious life.”
Speaking during 34th Graduation ceremony at the University’s main Campus in Nairobi, Kenya, Cardinal Berhaneyesus who is also the Chairman of AMECEA said that “AMECEA rejoices on the auspicious occasion that CUEA releases skilled, transformed manpower to the world with a purpose to serve Church and Society.”
He further advised the graduants to become ambassadors of The Catholic University of Eastern Africa by letting their transformed lives radiate to the world the values they had received.
“I entrust all the graduands to the loving care of God and believe that you will use the skill and manpower you have acquired not only to serve, but also to be a champions of truth, justice, morality and all else that is righteous,” said Cardinal Berhaneyesus.
While thanking the faculty members for the good work, he urged them to continue inculcating human values and ethics in education especially at these challenging times of need for moral formation.
