Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata presided over the graduation of 8,400 youth under the MYS programme, as he defended the decision to leave the UDA Party citing he disagreed with sponsored police intimidation, and malicious damage of properties belonging to the opponents, among other ills employed to score political scores..
Kang’ata said he is not worried over his decision to decamp from the UDA, but was energized to serve the Murang’a people through improvement of the health sector, ECDE centres and addressing food security.
“ They may also come for me but I am not afraid to pay the price for speaking the truth,” added Kang’ata when he presided over the graduation of 773 youth under the Murang’a Youth Service after completion of their short time courses facilitated by the County Government.
Kang’ata accompanied by his Deputy Stephen Munania, CEC’s and MCA’s urged the national government to speed up the building of infrastructure at the Murang’a Industrial Park at Makenji, Murang’a.
The MYS programme, the governor said, was initiated not only to provide temporary jobs and equip young people with skills and capital to become self-reliant.
“I want to encourage those who have graduated today to further their education. The county has attracted investors who are putting up industries at Murang’a Industrial Park where our youth who have graduated today can get jobs. You can also create jobs,” said Kang’ata.
