Kennedy Kuruga, the incoming MCA aspirant for Inoi Ward in Kirinyaga County<\/a>, is fast becoming a household name, thanks to his tireless commitment to youth empowerment.<\/p>\n

Though elections are still two years away, his grassroots actions are already transforming lives and giving hope to hundreds of young people.<\/p>\n

Residents have expressed deep appreciation for Kuruga\u2019s dedication. \u201cHe\u2019s not waiting to be elected to start working,\u201d said David Muriithi, a local youth leader.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has shown us that leadership is about service, not position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuruga has supported several youth-led initiatives in agribusiness, boda boda operations, and skills training.<\/p>\n

His efforts have reduced crime and unemployment, with many young people now engaged in productive work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough Kennedy, I got sponsored to attend a tailoring course<\/a>. Today, I make my own money,\u201d shared 23-year-old Purity Wambui.<\/p>\n

He has personally financed mentorship events, career guidance sessions, and mental health talks across Inoi Ward.<\/p>\n

His aim, he says, is to help youths discover their purpose early and live responsibly. \u201cThe biggest investment we can make is in our young people,\u201d Kuruga stated. \u201cIf they rise, the entire community rises.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of his most praised projects includes supplying over 50 youth groups with tools, seeds, and training in agribusiness. \u201cHe linked us with suppliers in Sagana and buyers in Kutus.<\/p>\n

We now farm as a group and make weekly earnings,\u201d said Joseph Karani, a beneficiary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Church leaders and elders have also lauded his character. \u201cKennedy is humble, honest, and consistent.<\/p>\n

He attends community functions even without cameras,\u201d said Reverend Gichimu of Inoi Anglican Church.<\/p>\n

With the 2027 elections in sight, Kuruga\u2019s support base continues to grow. To many, he represents a new style of leadership: one built on action, not promises.<\/p>\n

As more youths find opportunity through his programs, his name is quickly becoming synonymous with change in Inoi Ward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
