TOM MBOYA UNIVERSITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2024 - 2028
(TOM MBOYA UNIVERSITY, 2025-09-12) Tom Mboya University
Leveraging on its strategic location in western Kenya on the Lake Victoria basin, TMUis committed to meeting the needs of the communities in the region as well as being adestination university for the neighbouring countries and beyond.The plan is developed in line with the Revised Guidelines for Preparation of Fifth-Generation Strategic Plans issued on 3rd July 2023 by the State Department ofEconomic Planning, Ministry of National Treasury and Planning, Republic of Kenya.The Strategic Plan was developed through a participatory process that involved theUniversity Council, Senate, Management, staff, students and external stakeholders.

Comparative Economic Analysis of Clonal Tea Yield Response to Nitrogen Fertiliser Rates within Selected Geographical Areas in Kenya
(International Journal of Tea Science, 2020-09-09) Rosebell A. Owuor; Alphonce J. Odondo; P. Okinda Owuor; David M. Kamau
Tea sector contributes approximately 30% of export earnings in Kenya. Despite the industry continuing to realize positive gross margins, high costs of production coupled with weak trends in export prices threaten its future contributions. Nitrogen fertiliser is mandatory in tea production and its appropriate use promotes tea growth rate and yields. Previous studies using different tea cultivars established that optimal fertiliser rates varied with clones and geographical area of production. However, economics of nitrogenous fertilisers use on same tea cultivar in different tea growing regions in Kenya remains undefined. This study evaluated response of NPKS 25:5:5:5 fertiliser applied at 0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 kg N/ha/year on clone BBK35 to determine the viable economic rate under uniform management in different locations (Karirana, Timbilil, Changoi, Sotik Highlands and Kipkebe) within Kenya. The study used time series tea yield data and corresponding variable costs from field experiments running from 1997 to 2007. The data were subjected to Partial Budget Analysis (PBA) procedures for economic analysis of on-farm experiments. The economic returns varied with rate of nitrogen and region of production. Maximum marginal rate of return (MRR) were achieved at 75 kg N/ha/year at Kipkebe, Changoi and Timbilil, and 150 at Sotik Highlands and Karirana. However best economic returns were recorded at 300 kg N/ha/year in Kipkebe and Sotik Highlands, 225 kg N/ha/year in Changoi, and at 150 kg N/ha/year in Timbilil and Karirana. These results demonstrate that current uniform fertiliser recommendation rate of 100 to 220 kg N/ha/year may not be suitable for all regions. There is need to develop region specific nitrogen fertiliser requirements for tea growing areas in Kenya.
Effects of Strategy Control Measures on Strategy Implementation at the Lake Victoria North Water Services Board, Homabay County,Kenya
(2020-07) Belyndah Shitakwa Ligare; Thomas Okoth Otieno; Dr. Victor Aliata
The Lake Victoria North Water Services Board (LVNWSB) in Homabay initiated a project with the aim of improving and expanding the network and infrastructure for drinking water and its sanitation in the county of Homabay. At that time, about 92% of the population had no access to piped water which was also of poor quality and high cost. Only 8% of the residents benefited from a continuous water supply. The Homabay Project is worth Ksh 300M which was to be completedby 2017 but up to date it has not been completed. The objective of this study was to establish the effect of strategy control measures on strategy implementation at the LVNWSB, in Homa Bay County, Kenya. The stakeholder theory was used in the study that suggests that an organization is a social construction made of interaction of various stakeholders. This study used correlation survey design.The target population for this study was 50 employees of LVNWSB. Census method was used to survey the target population. The respondents were given questionnaires that were administered through drop and pick method.The questionnaires were pre-tested by conducting a pilot survey from 5 respondents taken from the 50 employees using the internal consistency technique by employing Cronbach Coefficient Alpha test for reliability. Validity was determined using Content Validity Index (CVI). The research instrument was designedto collect qualitative and quantitative data. The researcher used multiple regression analysis using SPSS so as to determine the effects of independent variables on dependent variable.The study findings revealed that strategic control systems have a positive significant effect on strategy implementation (β=.389, p=.000). The study concluded that strategic control systems have positive effect on strategy implementation. The study therefore recommends that the government improves the strategic control measures to enhance strategy implementation at LVNWSB.Findings from this study will be valuable to a number of stakeholders in and outside thewater sector: expanding existing knowledge, referencing and finding comparisons in the quest of getting an ideal strategy-ethics composition and policy approach to stakeholder involvement that would improve service delivery.
