Kibra CDF awards 35 youths driving license

By Paul Owino

35 residents from across all the wards that constitute Kibra Constituency today were awarded driving certificates and licenses having completed a two months driving program at Rocky Driving School.

The 35 graduates were amongst 50 people who had been sponsored by the area Member of Parliament Hon. Kenneth Okoth through the Constituency Development Fund CDF.

The MP said that it was not only driving that he intends to roll out to the constituents but also other short term technical skills like hair dressing, masonry, plumbing and carpentry among others.

“We enrolled 50 people but we are planning to do 250 by the end of this year,” Hon. Kenneth Okoth said.

In getting those enrolled the MP said that some applied after having heard of the chances and others were recommended by their respective communities; churches, local leaders and groups among others.

Hon. Okoth also added that there was no guarantee that the graduates will get employ but there is a high demand for people with technical skills.

“It is never a perfect process and so there is no guarantee that all of them will be employed,” he started. “But there is a high demand for people with basic technical skills out there and a person with these technical skills has a higher possibility of getting a job more than a university graduate,” Hon. Okoth added.
