A grant event got hilarious when a kid promised to send his first goats to the president. A youth business funding dispersal in Samburu featured a young beneficiary amusing attendees with his entrepreneurial plans. Sailo Lekanapa explained he would use his twenty-two thousand shilling grant to start a goat trading business in his local market. He then jokingly promised his first supply would be delivered to the State House.
The comment drew laughter from the crowd, including President William Ruto and Samburu Governor Lati Lelelit. The event distributed funds across four counties under the government-backed NYOTA Project. Each beneficiary received twenty-five thousand shillings to start or grow a business. Most of that amount was deposited into a dedicated business operations account.
The remaining portion was allocated to a savings fund with the national social security agency. The program targets young people to foster entrepreneurship and stimulate local economies. It is financed through World Bank support and focuses on youth within a specific age range. The initiative also includes mentorship components alongside the financial disbursement.
The ongoing distribution marks a second phase for the project, following an earlier pilot program. Officials state the goal is to enhance economic participation in northern Kenyan regions. For recipients like Lekanapa, the funds represent startup capital and a chance to contribute to community supply chains. His humorous offer highlighted the direct connection between local enterprise and national leadership.
