Buuri MP Mugambi Rindikiiri has affirmed his resolve to help young people from his constituency to exploit and nurture their talents in order to earn a living from the same.

In line with this, the MP held various events in each of the five wards in the constituency yesterday where young people displayed their prowess ranging from martial arts, dancing, fine arts, acrobats among others with a view of picking the best of the talents.

The winners at the ward level will meet in a grand finale to be held later this month.

Speaking during the event Mr Rindikiiri said this was one of the ways of helping the young people realise their potential and evade the temptations of indulging in drug abuse and other criminal activities.

He said the program will be featured at least twice every year to build youths' abilities to a spectacular level. The event was the first of its kind to be held in this constituency.

“I believe that if we are to achieve our goal of being an aspiration nation then young people need to be given a chance,” said Mr Rindikiiri.

The MP also promised to organize the young people and help them access government funds including the Hustler fund, Youth Enterprise fund, and Uwezo fund as well as funding from the Micro and Small Enterprise Authority.

“We want to bring all our young people together to help them nurture their talents and above that empower them economically in order to ensure that they have a strong foundation in life,” said Mr Rindikiiri.

To help them have experience and access to online jobs, the MP promised to ensure there was a computer hub in every ward where musicians can also access recording equipment.

“We all know that talent is money and, in this view, we will also set aside money from the National Government Constituency Development Fund which will be used to acquire the required equipment,” said Mr Rindikiiri.
