PS Nixon Korir Leads Nyota Project Verification Exercise in Nairobi Constituencies
NAIROBI, October 24, 2025.
The Principal Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning, Hon. Generali Nixon Korir this morning led the ongoing National Youth Opportunities Towards Authorities (NYOTA) Project Nationwide Verification Exercise taking place across all constituencies in Nairobi. The exercise is being conducted in all constituencies in the country.
In Kibra Constituency, the PS was pleased to witness an impressive turnout across all wards; Laini Saba, Lindi, Makina, Sarangombe, and Woodley. He was accompanied by Deputy Government Spokesperson Gabriel Muthuma, and together, they engaged with residents who expressed great enthusiasm and understanding of the verification process.
Later, in Dagoretti South, the exercise drew an equally strong response, with active participation from Uthiru, Ngando, Waithaka, Riruta and Mutu-ini wards. The PS was joined by Hon. John Kiarie, Member of Parliament for Dagoretti South, as they interacted with the youth and verified beneficiary lists on the ground.
Speaking during the exercise, PS Korir emphasized the government’s commitment to transparency and youth empowerment, saying:
“This verification exercise is not just about confirming names on a list, it’s about restoring trust, promoting accountability, and ensuring that government support reaches those it’s truly meant for.”
The NYOTA Verification Exercise marks a crucial step toward ensuring accuracy, transparency, and inclusion, confirming that every rightful beneficiary is duly captured and accounted for.
The NYOTA Initiative targets 820,000 youth nationwide. In the first phase 70 beneficiaries per ward across 1,450 wards will receive a Ksh 50,000 grant to support their business startups. In addition, 90,000 youth will undergo job training under approved trainers, while 600,000 youth will benefit from capacity-building sessions on accessing Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO).
Through this initiative, the government seeks to empower young people, promote self-reliance, and foster inclusive economic growth by linking opportunity to talent and enterprise at the grassroots level.
