Chepkemoi was earlier this month rescued from Saudi Arabia after facing molestation from her employer.
On Wednesday, September 14, 2022, the administration of the university and the students welcomed her back to school.
Prof. Romanus Odhiambo, vice chancellor of the university, had pledged to reinstate the student after public attention was drawn to her predicament and the abuse she had suffered under her employer.
In a statement on September 6, Prof. Odhiambo acknowledged that Chepkemoi was enrolled at the school and pledged to provide her with housing and a job to help her succeed academically.
“Ms. Chepkemoi is a student at MUST. She was admitted to MUST during the 2017 - 2018 academic year on 31st August 2017 to study Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Management under the School of Agriculture and Food Science. Ms. Chepkemoi studied the program for the first semester of the academic year. She submitted a letter of deferral due to financial constraints on 29th August 2018. The request was granted,” the VC noted.
“We welcome back Ms. Diana Chepkemoi, a member of the MUST family, to the university to complete her studies. We have informed her family of the support we shall offer her in order to successfully complete her studies. The university will place Ms. Chepkemoi under the student work-study program, a platform designed to empower needy students.”
According to the VC, the student will be given a flexible timetable so she may balance employment and education.
