Former Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi is set to graduate next month from the Columbia University in New York with a degree in positive psychology having studied a course that focuses on happiness.
Murungi said he stumbled upon the course online and decided to study for it in the aftermath of his loss at last year's General Elections.
The former Minister for Energy further divulged that the course has opened his eyes on the importance of making the most of what life has to offer instead of dwelling on the negative aspects. The association, which consists of civil servant retirees, protects, advocates for and promotes the rights, interests and entitlement of retired officers, in addition to catering for their welfare.
The former Imenti South legislator, who is KARO's patron, urged the Cabinet Secretary for Labour, Social Services and Social Protection, Florence Bore, to ensure that the recently signed Social Health Insurance Act does not hamper access to healthcare for elderly persons. "What we know in our office space is you are retired and have a pension but it never hits us that pension is very little and is never improved. We only know you are comfortable but never sit and think beyond. I even ask my mother whenever she goes to the bank, what amount she is going to withdraw but she never tells me. I think it is too little," Bore said.
