President William Ruto has issued a Sh163 million cheque to support 816 young Kenyans traveling abroad for work under the Kazi Majuu programme. The funds, announced during International Youth Day in Kakamega, will cover airfares, visas, and settlement costs for beneficiaries securing overseas jobs.

• The Kazi Majuu programme is part of a broader labor mobility push that has seen 420,000 youth secure jobs overseas in the past two and a half years.
• President Ruto emphasized that youth are the "driving engine powering Kenya's rise to greatness."
• Other youth initiatives include expanding TVET (enrolment from 180,000 to over 700,000), the Affordable Housing Programme (161,000 units under construction), Climate WorX (45,000 youth involved), and the Hustler Fund (Sh72 billion disbursed).
