During the commencement of International Youth Week at Pwani University, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki highlighted the government's commitment to engaging Kenyan youth, viewing them as a vital national resource for development rather than a burden. He emphasized the administration’s focus on addressing youth demands, enhancing skills, and creating jobs through various initiatives.

• DP Kindiki stated that the government considers the youth bulge an "opportunity and a great investment for Kenya."
• He announced plans for continuous consultations and town hall meetings with young people to discuss national affairs.
• Key initiatives include restructuring youth programs, making university education more accessible and affordable, and rolling out Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to certify self-acquired skills, particularly in the Jua Kali sector, through institutions like the National Industrial Training Authority.
