Interviews to select 100,000 young businesspeople who will benefit from a KSh50,000 grant begin in all sub-counties on Monday, President William Ruto has announced.
The Ksh. 5 billion joint government and World Bank business support programme, called National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) project, aims to empower 70 young people from each of the country’s 1,450 wards to start and grow their enterprises.
“Tomorrow in every sub-county in Kenya, we will begin identifying 100,000 young people because we want to use their energy, talent and expertise to transform our nation,” the President said.
He made the remarks at the inauguration of the Nairobi Archdiocese of the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Kenya at the Kasarani Gymnasium in Nairobi on Sunday.
Earlier, President had attended the 70th anniversary of the Africa Inland Church Ziwani in Nairobi County. He was accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, Cabinet Secretaries Kipchumba Murkomen and Hanna Cheptumo, MPs and MCAs.

The President announced that the government and the Nairobi County have agreed to contract the private sector to collect garbage and keep the city clean.
“Nairobi cannot continue to be the city of filth,” he said.
The two levels of government, he explained, will also cooperate in road development in city estates and lighting up the city.
“The National Government is going to work with the County Government to ensure that Nairobi is mobile and motorable, clean and well-lit. We are finalising the plan,” he said.
The anniversary celebrations were held at Starehe Boys School, and the President pledged that the government would provide KSh60 million to replace asbestos roofing and expand the school’s infrastructure.
Additionally, the President said the government will also send 20 more teachers to the school in January 2026.
