Lukenya University is a private chartered university in Makueni County, Kenya. It developed from the Lukenya educational institutions associated with the family of the late Justice Kasanga Mulwa. The university received its charter in August 2022, becoming a fully chartered university. Its main university campus is at Mtito Andei, near the Athi/Galana River and Tsavo East area—not at the former Athi River postal address printed in the original 2016 directory listing.

What changed since the original listing?
The original directory post listed Bachelor of Education tuition of KSh 38,000 and a number of old certificate and diploma fees. These were historical figures and are not suitable for present-day decisions. The contact section also listed Athi River. The current university’s main campus and registrar’s postal address are at Mtito Andei in Makueni County. Applicants should not confuse Lukenya University with other separately operated Lukenya-branded schools or colleges.
Accreditation and professional courses
Lukenya University appears on Kenya’s list of chartered private universities for 2026. For a professional or technical course, check approval of that individual programme where required, using the relevant professional regulator or the Commission for University Education. A university charter does not itself guarantee professional licensing of every listed qualification.
