“This launch provides us with an opportunity to open up more areas of collaboration with all the stakeholders of Better Migration Management,” UoN vice chancellor Peter Mbithi said.

He said migration can have both negative and positive impacts on regional economies.

“It is important, therefore, for policy makers and practitioners to be equipped with good knowledge that will enable them to harness the vast opportunities that arise from migration,” Mbithi said.

Matiang’i called on stake holders in the immigration sector to work together to improve the sector.

“I want to see public relations made compulsory for immigration officers so that they can serve the people better. I want to find them friendly to all people when I am travelling,” he said.
