Jomvu MP Badi Twalib jumped to President William Ruto's defense amid mounting pressure for his ouster. The lawmaker questioned critics who expect the head of state to magically solve youth unemployment within just two years of taking office. Twalib argued that even developed nations struggle with jobless citizens and no leader can guarantee employment for every young person. He praised Ruto's grassroots empowerment initiatives that help people create their opportunities when formal jobs remain scarce. The MP distributed 7.8 million shillings worth of checks to 50 women's groups plus four motorbikes across three Jomvu wards.
Crime rates have dropped significantly in his constituency thanks to financial empowerment programs targeting idle youth. Twalib believes busy young people earning legitimate income have less time to engage in harmful activities that threaten community safety. He warned that empty minds become breeding grounds for criminal behavior while productive work keeps citizens focused on improving their lives. The legislator stressed that employment creation remains the best strategy for reducing social problems. Local residents have benefited directly from these targeted intervention programs.
Opposition leaders faced sharp criticism for encouraging boycotts against companies linked to Kenya Kwanza government supporters. Twalib accused rivals of promoting economic sabotage that ultimately hurts poor families whose children work in those targeted businesses. He challenged opposition figures to propose concrete solutions rather than simply demanding leadership changes. The MP reminded everyone that Ruto inherited massive debts including SGR and expressway obligations but managed the economy without defaulting. Twalib declared his commitment to remaining in the current broad-based government arrangement.
