MP King’ang’i nurturing youth talent through sports

 Mbeere South Member of Parliament Geoffrey King'ang'i has launched grading and construction of two sport grounds in his constituency.

Speaking while launching the Kandanda Mashinani initiative for Mavuria ward dubbed “Bottom-Up Football”, he said the two grounds will help in uplifting the talents of young people in the area.

The sports grounds of Ciorindagwa primary school and Iriamurai primary will be uplifted to better standards courtesy of Mbeere South CDF.

The MP urged youths to focus on cultivating their talents because sports are paying.

"If our youths will be busy in sports, then they will have no time to engage in drug abuse," said King'ang'i.

He donated sports equipment to 22 teams to enable them nurture their talents.

Kingangi who has banked on youths for reelection will be defending his seat in 2022. He said youths are the backbone of any growing country and they deserve unmeasurable support.
