The Kenyan government is set to recruit 100,000 youth into the expanded Kazi Mtaani program, resuming its operations in 46 counties outside Nairobi. This initiative, previously halted due to budget constraints, has secured funding for its national rollout.

• The government aims to recruit 100,000 youth into Kazi Mtaani and support a further 100,000 youth under the business funding component of the NYOTA Programme.
• Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo made the announcement, confirming the availability of funds for the program's expansion.
• The NYOTA Programme received 400,000 applications, significantly exceeding the initial target of 100,000 beneficiaries, with the government committed to finding additional funds for the remaining 300,000 youth.
• Additionally, the government plans to launch a mobile app for citizens to report road incidents and is transitioning police stations to a Digital Occurrence Book (OB) system.
