agenda after he was allowed four
years ago.
He attended church services at Ngaburi AIPCA and
Kangari Africa Christian Church&Schools (ACC&S)where he said he was ready
to fix the challenges the Kenyans were going through.
The DP said through
the support of the Kenyan voters, he
will allocate Sh100 billion for the
youth enterprise programme and a further Sh50 billion for the small and medium enterprises, adding
that the Kenyan youth was depressed
following the high rate of unemployment.

needs,” said the DP.

MCA aspirants in Kigumo.
