Ag. CEC Youth Jeremiah Lenya has once again stated that Governor Kiraitu recognizes the role of youth in community development and that's why he chose to start MYS, an impact sourcing program for artisan man power.

Speaking at Muruguma Primary School while he distributed 8 motorbikes courtesy of Ward Fund to Kiirua/Naari boda boda groups, Lenya said the department roots for aggressive investment among the youth for self reliance.

He asserted on the need to diversify skills by investing in agribusiness, education, informal sector and other opportunities that would multiply wealth without necessarily having to flood on the boda boda economy.

Lenya pointed out that cost of human compensation is high, hence the need for seeking insurance cover for indemnity.This he said will help make the sector more reputable, from being a curse to an investment growing avenue.

As equally emphasized by area MCA Elias Kiriinya, both the CO and Director Youth Affairs, Lewis Mwirigi and Edward Kobia respectively, were articulate the program was purely on Ward Fund and that the government is set to roll out more training needs assesment programs for different interest youth groups.
