A youth group from Bogichora in Nyamira County has received more than 400kg of chicken feed by a local politician in support of their poultry farming project.
Red Bull youth group on Wednesday received the support by Bogichora MCA Beuttah Omanga, who chipped in to help them raise more than 1,000 chicks that the group had acquired from their savings.
Chairman Alex Aming’a lauded the MCA for his support, terming him as ‘objective and intelligent’ following a series of projects that targets the youth from the region.
“I can now see the reason why we should always elect our fellow youths. He is very focused, intelligent and objective, qualities that make him accessible than other politicians,” Aming’a said.
According to him, the feeds, which included both Chick Mash and Growers mash that are essential to growth of any chicken, would support them till they reach laying stage.
However, Omanga challenged youths to engage in constructive activities rather than involving themselves in endless politics.
“I want you people to be very focused with what you do. You must be innovative and look for something constructive that can help you face life without necessarily engaging yourself in endless and fruitless politics," he said.
The former leader of majority in Nyamira County said he was ready to help youths who were ready to come up with projects that could be funded.
