Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria has expressed commitment towards empowering young people from his Constituency.

Already a number of youth have been selected to undergo skills-training at Bandari Maritime Academy in Mombasa.

In a statement on July 18, 2024, the office of the MP revealed that the Lawmaker will be meeting the selected youth to brief them of what is expected of them.

The meeting will take place on a given date at that will be communicated to you as soon as possible,” reads part of the statement.

According to Gikaria who is serving his third term in National Assembly, this initiative is part of ongoing efforts to empower youth with valuable skills and opportunities.

At the Bandari Maritime Academy, the selected youths will receive comprehensive training, critical components in global trade and transportation.

The office of the MP has called on all selected youths to attend this important meeting that will see discussion on the scope of the program and what to expect during their training at the Bandari Maritime Academy.
