VICTOR MARENDE LEADS YOUTH CONSULTATIVE MEETING IN KOROGOCHO, CHAMPIONING EMPOWERMENT.

Youth leader Victor Marende yesterday convened a major consultative meeting with young people in the Korogocho Ward of Ruaraka Constituency, focusing on the critical challenges of youth unemployment and the urgent need for genuine empowerment.


The gathering brought together youths from across the constituency to discuss their lived experiences and propose practical solutions. Marende, a passionate advocate for youth interests, used the platform to listen directly to the concerns of young Kenyans who, despite their education and talents, continue to face limited job opportunities.

Marende is widely known for actively pushing youth agendas at both local and national levels. He is currently advocating strongly with the Government of President William Samoei Ruto for policies and programs that address youth unemployment head-on. His efforts focus on skills development, access to affordable capital for entrepreneurship, creation of sustainable job opportunities, and greater inclusion of young people in decision-making processes.

The consultative meeting served as an important forum for youths to share ideas and recommendations, including:

Expanded vocational and technical training aligned with market demands  

Support for youth-led enterprises through mentorship and financing  

Stronger collaboration between government, private sector, and communities to generate employment  

Direct involvement of youth in shaping policies that affect their future

Marende reassured participants of his unwavering commitment to elevating these issues to the national government. “We are engaging directly with the Government of President William Samoei Ruto to ensure that youth priorities are reflected in national development plans,” he affirmed.

This latest engagement in Korogocho underscores Marende’s consistent grassroots approach combined with high-level advocacy. By bridging the voices of ordinary young people with government corridors, he continues to play a vital role in the fight against youth unemployment.

As Kenya seeks to harness the potential of its large youthful population, leaders like Victor Marende demonstrate the importance of dedicated, action-oriented youth leadership. His ongoing push for youth agendas within the Ruto administration reflects a determined effort to turn challenges into opportunities for empowerment and economic growth.

The outcomes of yesterday’s meeting are expected to feed into broader initiatives aimed at delivering tangible results for the youths of Ruaraka Constituency and the country at large. Marende remains focused on ensuring that youth employment and empowerment move from discussion to real, measurable impact. 

Youth employment is not merely an economic issue it is fundamental to Kenya’s stability, prosperity, and inclusive future. Through forums like this and sustained engagement with government, Victor Marende continues to show what committed, results-driven youth leadership looks like.

THE UNSTOPPABLE RISE OF BWIBO CHARLES, TUK’s FAROUK

Let me tell you about a man who didn’t just pass through the Technical University of Kenya he colonized it. Let us tell the full story. Not the polished LinkedIn version. The real one. The one with sweat, sabotage, sleepless nights, betrayal, comebacks, and a young man who simply refused to break. He arrived in Nairobi the way most village champions do broke, overwhelmed, and dangerously ambitious.Bwibo Charles stepped off the Busia-bound Easy Coach at Railways, one suitcase, KSh 4,700 in M-Pesa (half of it airtime), and a admission letter that felt heavier than the suitcase.  His mother had sold two goats to raise the first semester fees. His father had looked him in the eye and said, “Usiniangushe.” (Don’t embarrass me.) First week, he slept on the floor of a comrade’s single room in lucky summer  because hostels were full and brokers were asking for 30K “goodwill.”  He ate supper at 11 p.m. because that’s when ugali was cheapest at M...

THE SILENCING OF A STUDENT VOICE: WHY STEVE ODIWUOR'S SUSPENSION AT KENYATTA UNIVERSITY SMELLS LIKE RETALIATION.

WHY STEVE ODIWUOR WAS SUSPENDED FROM KENYATTA UNIVERSITY: In the midst of Kenya's escalating university crisis, where lecturers have been off the job for over six weeks demanding what they're rightfully owed, one student's bold stand has landed him in hot water. On October 24, 2025, Kenyatta University (KU) issued a suspension notice to Mr. Steven Odiwuor better known to his peers as Steve Loch Wiye Tek, the fiery chairperson of the Kenyatta University Nyanza Students Union (KUNSA). The letter, stamped with the university's official seal, paints a damning picture of alleged misconduct. But as with so many institutional crackdowns, the devil's in the details or rather, the lack thereof. This isn't about rule-breaking; it's about a young leader who dared to rally for justice. THE ADMINISTRATION'S VERSION: A LAUNDRY LIST OF VAGUE ACCUSATIONS Let's start with what KU's Registrar (Academic) laid out in black and white. The letter claims t...
