Kiambu young talents will have a reason to smile after Governor William Kabogo promised to sponsor them and promote their talents during an explosive performance that ‘tamed’ eyes of many on Thursday.
Urafiki Dancers captivated the audience on Thursday in Kiambu town headquarters when Kabogo was unveiling the County Bursary Programme where he gave out Sh150 million which will sponsor needy students in the county.
The governor hailed the dancers of an exemplary performance and choreography acknowledging that it required hard work and determination to achieve such moves displayed by the dancing group, promising that their talents will not go to waste.
“Those choreography did not come on their own, they worked hard for it and thus they deserve to be rewarded abundantly to act as an example to youths who sit on their talents,” said Kabogo.
He pledges Sh20,000 for the dancers and assured them that the county is looking forward to sponsoring them and to also nurture young talents in Kiambu.
Kabogo expressed his concerns to idle youths who sit on their talents that they should start making money out of their God given innate talents.
Youths and sports CeC Michael Waikenda who was also in the same meeting expressed his gratitude to Kabogo for his unending support for the area youths terming it as good leadership.
Waikenda revealed that he has started youth empowerment adding that so far he has already gone to six Wards and preparing to go to the remaining 54 Wards which he tends to finish by the end of the year.
He cited previous youth empowerment workshop in Gatundu North, Gituamba Ward that, according to him, positively transformed many youths as one way of changing youth’s lives.
He appealed to youths to come out in large numbers to show their unique talents and benefit from the county’s tokens offered to youth groups rather than staying at home.
