Daystar to replace Asbestos roofing with safe Iron sheets
On August 9, 2021, Daystar University received 28 tons of roofing iron sheets from Maisha Mabati in Ruiru town, a subsidiary of DEVKI Group of Companies.
The 28 tons will replace asbestos roofing for the entire PAC Court including the Vice-chancellors block, Administration, Admissions and Records, Finance and DVC Academic offices, as well as the School of Law block, at Lukenya.
Earlier this year, the first batch of iron sheets intended to replace asbestos roofing for PPHOPE CENTRHop Hope Centre was delivered at the Main Campus Central Stores. The Hope Centre carries the Dining Hall, Cafeteria and Student Centre.
The deliveries are as a result of several rounds of discussions between the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Laban P. Ayiro and the Chairman and proprietor of DEVKI Group of Companies Dr. Narendra Guru. The roofing iron sheets have been offered at a discounted factory price worth Ksh 8.7 million. The partnership was made possible through the Vice-Chancellor Special Projects Manager, Mrs. Coretta Ndunda.
The Maisha Mabati iron sheets which are considered safe will enable the University harvest rainwater for use within the Main Campus.
The third and the last batch is expected by early October, 2021.
