A youthful politician from Kitutu Masaba constituency has launched a campaign labeled ‘Pombe Kando’ in a bid to rescue a number of youths who have allegedly reverted to drinking due to frustrations in life.
Andrew Momanyi who is also as successful businessman said the campaign will target at least 500 youths from the region and it will soon extend to other parts of Gusii land.
He said the campaign will involve rehabilitating the youths before getting them to appropriate businesses for the sake of helping them financially.
“Many of our youths have been consumed by illicit brew and isn’t good for our economic prosperity. This campaign will target at least 500 people and we will rehabilitate and subsequently set businesses for those who will be willing. It will soon extend to other regions in Kisii,” he said.
Momanyi accessed the government for allegedly failing to disburse Uwezo funds equitably besides failing to monitor the progress of the intended purpose of the funds.
“This is a failing government. We have seen how Uwezo Fund initiative has failed to meet its objectives and this is why many youths are struggling with life. However, we will not sit back and watch the youthful population perishing,” he added.
The campaign will target two sub counties in in Nyamira namely Masaba North and Manga before it extends to other regions.
