Kenyan President William Ruto has launched the Affordable Housing Internship Programme at State House Nairobi, aiming to expand the number of youth involved in the affordable housing sector from 320,000 to 600,000. The initiative is part of the broader Affordable Housing Programme and seeks to recruit more professionals in the built environment, including quantity surveyors, urban planners, and AI specialists. Concurrently, President Ruto announced an increase in youth participation in the Climate Works project, doubling the number from 20,000 to 40,000, with 20,000 new slots allocated to Nairobi. Additionally, 25,000 youth workers have been inducted into the Climate WORX program to address environmental challenges. President Ruto reaffirmed his commitment to free, quality education for all Kenyans and pledged to continue his development agenda if granted a second term, emphasizing political cooperation with Raila Odinga. He also criticized opposition slogans calling for his resignation as lacking substantive solutions. Meanwhile, his allies are strategizing to regain support in the Mt Kenya region.
