The Principal Secretary for Livestock Development, Hon. Jonathan Mueke, and Kitui South MP, Dr. Racheal Kaki Nyamai, on Monday led the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) grassroots leaders’ sensitization forum for Kitui County.
The forum, held concurrently across all 47 counties, follows a directive by President William Ruto for all Principal Secretaries to spearhead the nationwide sensitization drive aimed at empowering youth at the grassroots.
The NYOTA initiative is part of the government’s broader job creation and economic empowerment agenda, focusing on equipping vulnerable youth with opportunities to participate in income-generating programs and enterprise development.
Speaking during the Kitui forum, PS Mueke emphasized the government’s commitment to inclusivity and transparency in implementing the transformative project, noting that the whole-of-government approach will ensure no region or group is left behind.
Dr. Racheal Nyamai commended the initiative, terming it a game-changer for rural youth who have long been excluded from national economic programs.
Other county leaders, administrators, and youth representatives attended the session, expressing optimism that the NYOTA project will significantly reduce unemployment and foster sustainable livelihoods in Kitui.
