President Uhuru Kenyatta is committed to transform the lives of Kenyan youths before he completes his second and final term in power, State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena has said.
Speaking on Wednesday during an interview on Ghetto Radio, Dena said that President Kenyatta has established different projects for the benefit of the youths in this nation as he seeks to leave behind a legacy.
"President Kenyatta has the best interest of the youth at heart. He is working on several issues and pushing for policies that will ensure the youth are included in the country's development agenda," she said.
"The Government is very keen on the economic empowerment of the youth and has put in place several affirmative action funds including the Youth Fund and Uwezo Fund. Youth who are seeking resources for entrepreneurship should leverage on these funds," Kanze Dena noted.
She highlighted that the completion of the Standard Gauge Railway(SGR) is one of the indicators that the Jubilee government wants to change the lives of the youths in the nation.
She noted that a number of youths have already secured jobs at the SGR, adding that the investment has also benefited the nation in different ways including spurring economic growth.
"SGR has created employment opportunities for the youth. There are jobs for those who work in the train, for taxi operators who ferry passengers to and from the terminus, for the youth who operate equipment for the #SGR cargo train among others," she added.
