The youths claims that the county had allocated Sh500,000 to each constituency to help them in sporting activities.

Kevin Muthiani a Nakuru resident, says that it is unfortunate that youths are yet to be told on where about the money.

‎"‏It‭ i‬s unfortunate that such money is allocated to the‭ ‬youths to develop their skills in arts and culture.‭ ‬Some of us are very talented but there is no one to support us to move to the next level,” says Muthiani.

He added that‭ ‬the area was rich in theatre‭ ‬performance and‭ ‬singing yet they could not make a living out‭ ‬of it.

Joseph‭ ‬Maina says that MCAs who were trusted with the money can not account how it was used.

‎"‏They have been allocated the cash but‭ ‬unfortunately youths are yet to benefit from it,” notes Muthiani.

For now the youths are ‬writing a petition‭ ‬to the county government urging it order the MCAs to release the money to the beneficiaries.

Austin Macharia says that it is a shame that there is such money yet youth groups are invited in different areas to perform but they can not fund their travel. ‎

"‏In‭ ‬most cases we are forced to cancel our travel since we cannot afford transport to‭ ‬the area,‭" ‬said Macharia.
