Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) boss, Dr Ezekiel Mutua has for the first time narrated painful experience he faced during his graduation ceremony.

Taking to his facebook page, DR Mutua, who happens to be Kenyatta University an alumnus revealed that he was robbed on the eve of his graduation ceremony.
DR Mutua, went on to say that the unfortunate incident delayed his mission to pick the gown and prepare for his graduation.

“We serve a God who makes our setbacks the greatest comebacks. My graduation at KU 25 years was a sham, full of pain and distress. I was robbed at OTC in town two days before the graduation day. I had just picked my pay from Nation Centre where I worked as a journalist and was heading to the bus station to KU to pick my graduation gown, only for some robbers to pounce on me and disappear with everything – money, clothes and my identification documents,” he reveals.

“The unfortunate incident would delay my mission to pick the gown and prepare for my graduation. I would eventually get the gown the morning of the graduation, but the entrance to the Graduation Square had been closed and the ceremony was ongoing”.

Adding that he was forced to hang on the fence to follow the graduation proceedings together with his family and a bunch of villagers who had come to celebrate him.

“I hang on the fence and followed the proceedings from outside the Graduation Square with my mom, brothers and sisters and a bunch of villagers who had come to celebrate me. It was a humiliating experience,” he wrote.

The moral cop who graced the 47th graduation as a VIP went on to encourage all graduands feeling low on their graduation day.

“But today I entered the Graduation Square as a VIP, in the procession with the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor and other dignitaries and was sat at the high table. As I sat at the front row of the KU Graduation Square, I gazed at the corner where I stood in the fateful morning of October 1994 and shed a tear, not of pain but profound gratitude,” he said.

“God has raised me and healed my pain. May anyone going through their graduation today feeling low and dejected know that God can turn their situation around and honor them at the very place where they experienced the worst pain”.
