The member of Parliament of Mwala constituency Vincent Musyoka Musau on Tuesday advised the youth to apply for Uwezo fund which was set aside for marginalized groups of people in Kenya to develop themselves economically.
Musyoka spoke during his visit in Kabaa Parish Catholic church where he had been invited for the reopening of the Parish.
"The government recognizes the youth as people who have a lot of potential and that is why that money was set aside for you to apply for it so that you can support yourselves by starting businesses or enlarging one you already have or starting projects as youth groups and that way we will be self-employed and help curb unemployment problems which lead the youth to bad things like drug abuse and engaging in criminal activities," said MP Musyoka.
During the ceremony, he also donated Sh50,000 to help run the parish programs stating that religion plays a crucial role in modeling the community.
