Miss University Kenya 2014: Joan Musumba

Miss Campus
(Center) and the runners up
Joan Musumba is the new Miss
University Kenya.
The Kenyatta University Economics
and Statistics student beat 16 other
finalists from various universities —
among them two fellow Kenyatta
University models who had beaten
her during the preliminaries — to
scoop the coveted crown during a
glitz ceremony held at the Kenyatta
International Convention Centre
(KICC) on Friday night.
On second place was Winnie Njoki
from Multimedia University of Kenya
with the current Miss Kenyatta
University Eunice Njeri coming third.
“This is both humbling and
overwhelming,” a jovial Joan told
shinekenya minutes after winning
the crown.
“It presents a new challenge to me
as being Miss University Kenya
leaves me with great responsibilities
among them representing Kenya
during the Miss University Africa
finals in October,” added Joan, an
extrovert who describes herself as a
go-getter.
Coincidentally, Joan has been
working under the mentorship of the
outgoing Miss University Eunice
Kamau, also from Kenyatta
University.
“I am so happy that Joan takes the
crown from me. I mentored her and
I agree that she deserved to win in
this competition that was truly a
close call,” Eunice remarked.
The winners went home with big
cash rewards presented to them by
the Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko who
was one of the guests.
