Successful professionals to give back to community through educational programmes
Successful professionals from Nyaribari Masaba Constituency have been asked to spare part of their busy schedules to focus on supporting educational development back at home.
Addressing residents at the Constituency, area Member of Parliament Dr. Daniel Manduku said that the best way they could give back to the society is by investing in Education at home.
“If we invest at home, it will be easier to enrich our people because we will create local job opportunities that will enable them to earn money to educate their children who will be family pillars,” he said.
The legislator, who presided over the issuance of NG-CDF cheques worth Sh 38 Million for education bursaries at Masimba town, said his office will give priority to education programmes.
He asked secondary school teachers to advice students on career choices in their formative days to enable them make sound decisions in the pursuit of their education.
“It pains me when I see students going to school for the sake of it and end up languishing at home because of wrong choices,” he reiterated
The MP who is a professional architecture asked students to embrace the study of sciences because it will enable them to join the technology labour market which is in high demand.
“We are living in the technology era that calls for survival for the fittest therefore you must package yourselves with science knowledge to enable you to fit in the best economic places,” he advised.
Commenting on the general youth waywardness, Manduku took a swipe at parents who he claimed indulged in bad behavior by sending their children to buy cigarettes for them, indulgence in beer and abuse of drugs that has led their children to follow their steps blindly.
The successful professionals ask graduates to embrace technology
He asked the unemployed graduates to be non-selective in their quest for employment, saying that they can use their mobile phones to do research on the best way to propel themselves into making money by starting with what they have at hand.
During the meeting that was attended by Members of the County Assembly from the Constituency, the MP asked them to think of away they could join hands to support education by avoiding the duplication of projects in the area.
“There is need to consolidated our funds and direct them to more pressing development concerns rather than working in isolation that will not take us far,” he said.
The leaders resolved to embrace teamwork in order to attract meaningful development in the area.
