YYC-Central Province Executive Summary Background During the quarter under review, the Yes Youth Can-Central (YYC-C) program implementation continued scaling up the activities initiated over the last 12 quarters to meet the overall objective of strengthening the capabilities of youth and youth organizations in the Central Province to be agents of positive changes in their communities. To achieve this goal, Mercy Corps, County bunge Forums and County Bunge Sacco’s developed a series of integrated activities towards the four objectives using a youth led, youth owned and youth managed approach i.e. 0) Mobilize and form youth representative structures at the village and county level; 1) Support youth to exercise a greater voice in local and national affairs; 2) Increase youth productivity, employment opportunities, and income; and 3) Increase young women’s access to social, political, and economic opportunities. All program’s implementation activities during the period were all focused on placing the youths squarely in the driver’s seat, facilitated by Sub-Awards and the Fixed Obligation Grants, for CBFs and the SACCO’s respectively. These two youth structures have continued to foster partnerships with the arms of the government geared towards growth in the community and development of opportunities for the youths, primarily with county and the national government organs such as the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development, the Provincial Administration and other stakeholders within their area of coverage. Qualitative Impact Signing of sub-grant agreements between MC, the CBFs and SACCO’s, in the last quarter, placed both the program and implementation and financial responsibility on the hands of the youth leaders. All the activities were planned, executed and accounted for by the CBF’s for their Bunge’s). Concurrently, the SACCOs’ Fixed Obligation Grants governed by milestones in addition to the Cooperative Act formed the core focus of the societies as they endeavored to increase their membership and loan disbursements. The thirteenth quarter of the YYC-C program implementation vigorously promoted inclusion of young people leadership right from village bunges to the County Forums in project planning and execution, thus promoting learning and ownership. Mercy Corps also supported the CBFs in implementing their annual work plans. These plans were developed by individual bunge leaders at the sub-county levels and aggregated together to form the county work-plans thereby enhancing ownership through inclusive participation in program planning and delivery.

In mid-April, the program together with the Commission for the implementation of the Constitution (CIC) trained 12 youths per county as TOTs to train other youth and community at large on their role in the implementation and oversight of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Of special emphasis was the County Government Act/Devolution and Citizen Participation and in drafting petitions to the County assemblies and the laws governing the same. In efforts to build their capacity to implement their programs, Mercy Corps trained the SACCO’s and CBFs on Governance and Leadership training specifically on the following: • Good Governance • The Principles of Leadership and Governance • The Levels of Partnership The SACCO’s were also been trained on roles and relationships of SC and CMC, products and market development, credit administration, internal controls, fraud detection and management. The Quarter also saw Murang’a County Youth Bunge Forum hold its AGM. The county now has a new County Board in place, nominated in the forums and elected by the youths at the AGM. Quantitative Impact During the quarter under review, the YYC-C program through the network of 3,539 Village bunges, continued to work towards meeting its objectives with youths taking the lead on program implementation activities. So far, 74,263 youths have been mobilized and are actively engaged and are undertaking varied economic ventures. 55 new village Bunges were formed during the period bringing the total to 3,539. Within the same quarter, 12 women and 8 men took part in a capacity building program while 65 youths were engaged in civic education as ToT’s. The CBFs in the region conducted 25 constituency feedback forums where nominations for new board members were carried out. In order to increase youth employability, a total of 204 women and 123 men were trained in cattle husbandry, alternative energy and fruit value addition.

  • THE SONKONIZATION of NAIROBI: How Mike Sonko Is Reshaping City
    By Dauti Kahura On June 2, 2010, the then Speaker of the National Assembly Kenneth Marende declared the Makadara seat in Nairobi vacant. The MP, the late Dick Wathika had lost the seat after a successful petition by Rueben Ndolo, a former holder of the seat (2002—2007). The by election was slated for September 20, 2010. Three weeks to the by election, I had an interview with Wathika — popularly known as Mwas, his mtaa (estate) nickname — at a posh Nairobi hotel. He was in his element: exuding an unusual confidence. He boasted to me how he was going to wallop yet again his opponent Ndolo, who was contesting on an ODM ticket. Finding him vain, I reminded him the fight was no longer between him and his known adversary, but was now going to be a three-pronged battle, which in my view, needed a different tact and strategy. A third contestant had entered the fray and his name was Gideon Mbuvi Kioko alias Mike Sonko. “Wewe Dauti ni nini sasa…kwani umesahau kule tumetoka?” (You Dauti what’s up with you? You’ve forgotten where we’ve come from?), he chided me. “Huyo ni nani unaniambia stori yake. Ndolo ndiye opponent wangu. na nitam KO.” (Who’s that you telling me about? My opponent is Ndolo and I’ll knock him out). Wathika, in his heydays, just like Ndolo was an amateur boxer, the only difference being Ndolo had taken his boxing a notch higher and fought as a professional. Within two and a half years, Sonko was transformed from a political neophyte to a juggernaut.

  • S Biting Poverty,Uhuru's Pyrrhic Victory
    BETTING THEIR LIVES AWAY: How online gambling is ruining Kenyan youth By Dauti Kahura At a cybercafé somewhere in Nairobi’s South B estate, stone-faced male clients are glued to their computers. They are youthful, the type that ought to be attending college, or if they are working, should be at their respective work places. It is mid-morning on a weekday, the cybercafé’s computers are all occupied and the young men are not on the Internet doing research for a term paper, collecting data, compiling a literature review, or cleaning up their CVs; they are busy placing bets on football games that are being played thousands of kilometres away, mostly in European cities. This cybercafé is a replica of the many cybercafés spread all over the city and in suburban areas that have been turned into betting sites. “Cybercafés are no longer the Internet places you knew where people came to download serious stuff, upload a government document or even watch porn,” said Moha, the cybercafé’s owner and himself a former betting addict. “With the introduction of online betting in Kenya, the cybercafé business was transformed and acquired a new model.” In Rongai town in Kajiado County, 25 kilometres from Nairobi’s city centre, college students and young professionals have turned to cybercafés to gamble in the football betting craze that has left many residents befuddled. “All of them are male and between the ages of 19 and 35 years,” said a cybercafé owner. “A young man who was working for an IT company left his job to bet full time.” In Kikuyu town, Kiambu County, many young men have been sucked into the betting craze.

  • And the Kenyan Middle Class Saviour Mentality,THE VIRUS THAT
    ‘Githeriman’ and the Kenyan Middle Class Saviour Mentality By Njoki Wamai In the midst of the 2017 Kenyan election process and subsequent petition, a little- known Nairobi street sweeper became an overnight celebrity in mainstream national and international media after his picture started circulating among Kenyan social media users. The sweeper, Martin Kimotho, popularly known as Marto, was among the many Kenyans who were queuing before dawn on the 8th of August while eating githeri, a popular maize and beans meal, from a plastic bag as he waited for his turn to vote. Another youthful Kenyan, Ian Kinuthia, who was voting for the first time in the same polling station, took a picture of Marto and sent it to his friends on WhatsApp. The next day, Kenyans online, especially middle class Kenyans often found on Twitter, had christened the 42-year- old sweeper the “Githeriman” (#GitheriMan) and had decided that he was Kenya’s hero because he had united Kenyans of different ethnic groups as they praised him for going to vote at 5 in the morning while eating his “measly githeri”. Saviour mentality Leading corporates, including Safaricom, the multibillion-shilling telecommunications company, lined up to donate gifts to and dress up Marto in their own image. Marto’s over-sized brown jacket was quickly replaced with fitting designer suits by a suit company where our political elite buy their clothes. They gave Marto a total make-over with clothes and shoes to look the part of a sleek Nairobi executive. A real estate and mortgage company also showed up with a house.
