“Abiding to laid procedures and maintaining a chain of rules
is of great essence in improving ones well-being ”, the director added.
He also said that the network is made for all members of the
university to help in refining skills and mentorship which are a key determinant
of the three levels of training.
According to article
5(a) on membership, one is expected to undergo a screening exercise to be
able to hold a certificate of silver level of training.
On the other hand, active participation and maintenance of a
high level of discipline makes one qualified to engage in the democratic process
of Student Organization Maseno University, SOMU elections.
How to handle a
client
“Romantic relationships are invalid during counseling of
clients and these can automatically lead to loss of membership” said counselor
Rispah Ochola.
She also added that, having shaped how new laws will work, penalties
remained supreme. A committee of experts is mandated with authority to expel members
whose conduct would scratch the dignity expected according to article 5(d).
The office of students’ guidance and counseling is also
expected to serve a watchdog role over gender balance in annual general elections.
The members who should vie are also expected to be active in Networks
activities.
Equator News has
also learnt that quorum of MUNPEC meetings shall not be less than one third of
the registered members and that the agenda will undergo previous communication
through circulars of notice.
