There is need for engineers in the realization of Vision 2030 and industrialization. MKU has made collaborations with a group of 12 Engineers Brigade. 12 Engineers brigade has been in existence for the past 20years whose mandate is to do construction works which include; roads, dams, schools, water drilling and buildings.
