Mutinda Musyimi, members of the congress and the outgoing DUSA team.
Prof. Ayiro called on the new DUSA council to “see leadership as worship to God”.
“To Marco Laboso (president); Now that you are a leader, look for these qualities in your team; chemistry, commitment to the ideals of Daystar and character,” he said.
Prof. Faith Nguru encouraged the incoming council to “find the script of their leadership in the scriptures”.
Other members of the incoming council include Deputy President Monicah Gitau, Secretary General Paul Msando, Finance Secretary Wambui Njoroge, Athi River Campus Governor Walter Nalwa, Nairobi Campus Governor Brian Achoka and ISADU Chair Duc Florian.
