Murang’a Youth Service Graduates Second Cohort

Murang’a County Government marked a significant milestone with the graduation of the second cohort of the Murang’a Youth Service (MYS) during an interdenominational prayer event held at the Murang’a Level 5 Hospital New Ward.
Presided over by Governor Irungu Kang’ata, the ceremony celebrated 700 graduates who successfully completed their studies in youth polytechnics across the county. Each graduate received KES 15,000 in start-up capital to launch their businesses, along with a one-year waiver on county taxes. This brings the total number of youths recruited into the MYS program to over 4,000.
“Our aim is to spur Murang’a’s economy and create jobs for the youth, he said.
Through MYS, the county recruits youth via a transparent balloting process. Participants earn KES 400 daily for community service such as town cleaning, with KES 100 remitted to parents, and are trained in polytechnics to acquire essential skills for self-reliance.
