Youth & Sports

Youths in NairobiWe have many youths from Kangema in Nairobi

Most of our youths are in small businesses and Jua kali sector

Our youths are facing many difficulties which include:

Difficult in getting finance to expand their business

Difficult in getting space to carry out their business

Youth & Sports

Youths in NairobiWe have to recognize the strength which led our grand-fathers & our fathers to own most of businesses in this part of town is unity and investing together as a group

I will help in:

Bringing youths together to form self-help groups and saccos

Sourcing for funds from Youth fund, NGOs and donors

Bringing mentors to mentor youth in business

Youth & Sports

Youth Sports & Other TalentsThe highest paid professionals are sportsmen/women, musicians etc.

Talent for our gifted children stops when they finish secondary school.

I will put in place an initiative to nature talent

I will make sure we produce world-class sports personalities & other professionals.Alcohol AbuseAlcohol abuse is one of the biggest challenge we are facing

I will address this problem by:

Economic empowermentWorking with the administration to ensure:

Mututho law is strictly adhered to in Kangema

Sub-standard and adulterated drinks are not sold in Kangema

Bring in experts to do youth counselling in regards to Alcohol & drug abuse

Initiate youth rehabilitation in partnership with NACADA for those addicted to alcohol

Youth & Sports

Infrastructure & Health

RoadsThanks to our late M.P. majority of the main roads in Kangema have been tarmacked.

I intend to continue on the same line giving priority to roads to ensure the remaining roads are tarmacked

I will put priority on security roads some of which do not have bridges. I will ensure all security roads are accessible.

In the tea areas we have roads which are fixed using CESS money. I intend to work with the leaders in the tea sector so that there can be synergy between Tea Cess money, infrastructure and donors money

Tea Cess money, infrastructure and donors money: Create synergy to permanently fix the roads

Infrastructure & Health

HealthResources for health are scarce, and the disease burden is high.

My main areas of focus will be:

Upgrade of Kangema Hospital to have an in-patient

Kangema Hospital to get an Ambulance

Ensure the health centers in the wards and villages are equipped and staffed so as to bring the service closer to the people

We also need to work on health awareness

Majority of our people only visit the hospital when they are critically ill and sometimes it is already too late

I will work with the health officers to create awareness

To ensure that our people visit hospitals on regular basis for check-up and not only when they are sick

Infrastructure & Health

Security

CausesThe main causes of Insecurity include:

Youth Unemployment

Poverty

By addressing youth unemployment we shall significantly reduce crime in Kangema

Energy & Environment

Energy ChallengesDespite most of villages having electricity, few have managed get connected as transformers are far

Electricity remains expensive for majority

Firewood remain the only source of energy for cooking

ChallengesIn Tea zones cutting of trees for use in tea factories

Cutting of trees for firewood, charcoal, building

Lack of tree planting programs

Homes to be connected to ElectricityI will ensure that transformers are put closer to people not only in shopping centers

I will ensure all public institutions such as schools, tea buying centers, Coffee factories are connected to electricity

Energy & Environment

Generate Hydro-PowerGenerate Hydo-power to serve the community

Provide access to cheaper electricity

Generate revenue for the community by selling excess electricity to Kenya Power

Supply Tea factories with cheaper electricity thereby:

o Reducing dependency on use of firewood

o Reducing cutting of trees (environment conservation)

o Reduce cost for tea factories leading to higher income for farmers

Initiate 3 hydro power projects:

o Rwathia: In progress

o Community has already started a project

o Help in looking for funds to complete the project

o Help in finding market for excess power to be sold to Kenya power

o Kanyenyeini & Iyego: Carry viability study / Initiate project if viable

Energy & Environment

Bio-GasBiogas can provide a clean energy,

Easily controlled source of renewable energy

Carry-out pilot projects in shopping centers where Biogas can be shared by restaurants/tenants

Energy Saving JikosFirewood savings: Up to 60% saving on firewood used

Smoke reduction: Reduce eye and respiratory problem

Environmentally friendly:

Less firewood helping to reduce cutting of trees

Reduce air pollution

Energy & Environment

EnvironmentPlant trees to:

Help to conserve biodiversity

Restore ecosystems,

Reduce the impact of climate change

Tree Planting as a BusinessTree planting: Great investment opportunity that has remained under-appreciated in Kangema

Can be planted on undesirable uncultivated land

I will initiate projects to plant trees for business

Tree Planting for ConservationLiaison with Greenbelt to set tree nurseries (Youth & Women)

We shall be setting clear targets of trees to be planted in each village every year

We shall have tree planting events every year during short & long rains

Energy & Environment
