 The Mountain Journal

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.
