The NYOTA programme has sparked debate across the country after Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna raised serious concerns about how the initiative is being rolled out. The programme is meant to support young people through funding and empowerment projects, with financial backing from the World Bank.
At the center of the debate is the claim that public resources are being used in a partisan way.
Critics argue that activities linked to the programme are being blended with political messaging, creating the impression of campaign-style events rather than neutral public service engagements.
