Thousands of locals have braved the morning chill, filling the Kabiruini grounds to witness the official disbursement of the NYOTA Fund, a key pillar of the government’s economic empowerment agenda.
From the moment the presidential motorcade has touched down, it is clear this isn't just another formal government function.
It has felt like a homecoming. The President, known for his energetic engagement with the public, has been seen laughing and dancing with youth groups, while DP Kindiki walked alongside him, exchanging pleasantries with local leaders and residents.
The visual of the top two leaders in such high spirits has sent a strong message of unity and focus.
For the people of Nyeri, the presence of both leaders signaled that the "Bottom-Up" promises were finally hitting the ground where they matter most.
The NYOTA Fund isn't just about figures on a balance sheet, it’s about the stars the small-scale traders, artisans and youth groups who form the backbone of the local economy.
During the event, President Ruto has emphasized that this fund is designed to bridge the gap between ambition and capital.
"We are not just giving out money, we are investing in the dreams of our people," the President has noted as he handed over symbolic checks to various community groups.
What has made the Kabiruini event stand out is the sheer scale of local participation.
This isn't a closed-door meeting, it is a public celebration of progress. The logic is simple, by injecting capital directly into the grassroots, the government aims to spark a cycle of self-reliance that benefits the entire county.
For many in Nyeri, the NYOTA Fund disbursement represents a tangible step toward a more prosperous future.
