About Chuka University

Chuka University is a public institution established through a legal notice No. 161 of 2007. It was a constituent College of Egerton University and the successor of the former Egerton University Eastern Campus College, Chuka. The Campus College was established on 27th September 2004, by Egerton University Council to enhance access to high quality and affordable university education to the people living in the Eastern region and Kenya at large.

This endeavor was fast-tracked by the donation of 550 acres of land and other facilities essential for current and future expansion of the institution by the local community. This included all the land and facilities formerly owned by Chuka Polytechnic which was founded in 1956.

His Excellency President Mwai Kibaki appointed the first Council of the University on 12th September 2008. A prominent businessman and renowned leader, Eng. Wilfred Murungi was appointed the first Chairman of Chuka University Council.
