Why Are Our Youth Still Waiting for Jobs?
In every ward, in every sub-county, Nakuru’s youth are asking the same question: Where are the opportunities we were promised?
For too long, they’ve been treated as campaign tools used during elections and then forgotten. Since 2022, leadership has offered temporary programs, politicized bursaries, and empty promises instead of genuine investments in young people. Since 2022, it’s all been about flashy announcements that lead nowhere rather than hope. Meanwhile, an entire generation of skilled, educated, and resilient youth keeps waiting. Take Kevin, a 24-year-old from Lanet. “I trained and graduated in 2022,” he says, “but there’s no work. Every opportunity feels like it’s about who you know, not what you can do.” Where is dignity? Kevin asks. This isn’t just Kevin’s story; it reflects the experience of many more. A reality for thousands of youths across Nakuru. Talented. Trained. Skilled and Ready. But still waiting. CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi is here to change that story. He is a leader with a youth-focused vision, grounded in credibility and proven experience. He’s not coming with empty slogans. He’s bringing a real plan and the expertise to implement it. Mwangi has managed billions, built scalable systems, and understands behavioral finance, innovation, youth enterprise, and how to turn good ideas into lasting jobs. Listening to him, one can see his plan for Nakuru’s youth, which includes:
- County-backed innovation hubs to help young people launch and scale businesses and support startups and SMEs
- A fully digitized vocational training system connected to industry needs
- A county-backed Youth Enterprise Investment Fund to turn ambitions into careers
This is not just a promise. It’s a plan. Under CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi’s leadership, Jobs will be created, not just promised. Skills will be sharpened, not politicized. Dignity will be restored, not dangled as a favor. Mwangi believes in partnership, not patronage. He sees Nakuru’s youth not as a statistic, but as the engine of our county’s growth. He considers them partners in progress.
The future is young. And Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi is ready to invest in it. “For Nakuru Deserves Better”
