Dr. Vincent Munyoki, founder of the Vincent Munyoki Foundation and a dedicated youth leader, has amplified his call for the youth in Kitui West Constituency to be given a fair share of economic opportunities through the NG-CDF.
He is particularly advocating for the mandatory 30% tender allocation reserved for youth, women, and people with disabilities, stressing the need for these opportunities to be accessible to young entrepreneurs. Dr. Munyoki believes that empowering youth through these tenders is key to addressing the widespread issues of unemployment and poverty in the constituency.
In his recent statement, Dr. Munyoki also highlighted the pressing challenge of limited access to capital, which often discourages young people from bidding for tenders. To tackle this, he proposed offering zero-interest loans to youth-led businesses, ensuring they have the financial backing needed to take on government projects.
“If capital is the issue, I will personally step in to provide interest-free loans, no matter the amount required,” he assured, underscoring his commitment to seeing youth succeed in Kitui West.
Beyond tender opportunities, Dr. Munyoki emphasized the importance of tapping into the digital economy to create more job opportunities. He is focused on equipping the youth with digital skills and promoting online job markets as viable income sources.
By fostering a culture where the youth are not only job seekers but also job creators, Dr. Munyoki envisions a self-sustaining model where empowered youth can uplift their peers by creating employment opportunities.
His advocacy has resonated strongly with local youth, who see him as a champion of their aspirations. By pushing for the enforcement of the 30% tender rule in the NG-CDF in Kitui West Constituency and offering practical financial solutions, Dr. Munyoki is leading a transformative agenda aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty and ensuring that the youth become active participants in the constituency’s development.
