About the Directorate

The Directorate of Catering Services is mandated with the provision of quality catering services to the Kenyatta University community and external clientele. Operating under the motto "Delicious meals — unimaginable prices", the directorate ensures students, staff and visitors have access to nutritious, affordable meals across all campuses.

The directorate is headed by Dr. Judy Wairimu Mugo, Director of Catering Services, and operates catering units across five KU campuses: Main Campus, Ruiru, Parklands, Kitui, and Kericho. It also manages catering for university events, conferences, and special functions.

A Service Delivery Charter outlining standards and commitments is available from the directorate offices.
