In Murang’a, there is a program called the Murang’a Youth Service. Yesterday there was a recruitment exercise across the whole of Murang’a. This program takes 30 youths per ward, and so far they have taken more than 8,000 youths. The youths are selected through balloting, if you pick “yes,” you get a chance. No educational qualifications are required.
If you are selected, you work in cleaning the towns in Murang’a for two months and you are paid Ksh 400 per day. You receive Ksh 300, while Ksh 100 is sent to your parent.
After finishing the cleaning work, you are taken to a polytechnic to study a course of your choice such as plumbing, hair and beauty, etc., for three months, and the program pays for your NITA exam.
After completing the exams, there is a graduation, and you are given Ksh 15,000 to start a business. If you start your business in Murang’a, you do not pay a business license fee for one year.
Murang'a is making other Kenyans feel like they were born in Mogadishu. Now that is empowerment, silent, focused and impacful, not what we are currently seeing in other areas. Other leaders are milking the country dry while telling their mumu voters that all development is taken to Murima bcoz of entitlement.🤡

PS Ngeno owes Truphena Muthoni and Kenyans a public apology. According to Trupena, it’s Dr. Ngeno who allegedly frustrated Kenya’s newest national hero and denied her the chance to represent the country on a global stage.
And why is it that the loudest ���patriots” are always the ones wearing the biggest flag accessories?
In Kenya it’s the flag bands, in Tanzania it’s officials rocking national-color ties as if patriotism is something you put on, not something you live by.
