United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidates have come out in defense of their manifesto launched last week at the Kasarani grounds claiming it is realistic and achievable contrary to what their competitors say.
The leaders further claimed the manifesto had been tailored to deal with challenges facing the youth if they were elected in the August 9th 2022 polls.
Kisii County, UDA gubernatorial candidate running mate, Migosi Ogamba challenged the youth to be proactive and innovative so as to create self employment.
Ogamba urged the youth to utilize the 30% allocation given to them among other special interest groups by government on tenders to advance themselves.
The government’s public procurement regulations provide that 30% of the youth, women and people with disabilities (PWDs) be considered for the award of advertized tenders.
Plans will be crafted to allocate more funds for the youth to allow them participate fully in development projects they claimed.
Kitutu Chache North UDA parliamentary candidate, Japheth Mokaya appealed to the youth to avoid being used to cause violence during the electioneering period.
