Reason to smile for Nubian community

By Iddi Musyemi

NAIROBI: The Nubian community in Kibera had reason to smile on the first Friday of this month. This was after receiving 10 computers and 20 sewing machines from Eldoret North MP William Ruto who visited Madrasatul Fallah Kibra after an invitation by the Nubian Council of Elders.
During the visit, Ruto was accompanied by more than 8 MPs including assistant minister in the Ministry of Special Programs Mahmoud Mohamed among others.
The main purpose of Ruto’s visit in the constituency of his political arch rival Prime Minister Raila Odinga was to donate educational facilities to help in the establishment of a technical school at Makina mosque that will provide technical education and empower youth to create self employment.
“From my experience, such undertakings offer solutions to the problems majority hopeless youths are facing in this country”, said Ruto who was formerly Minister of Higher Education.
Several problems faced by the Nubian community were highlighted including land issue, identification cards document and unemployment.
The legislator also promised to assist in tackling the water shortage problem in the area by organizing afundraising drive in future.
Ruto emphasized that leaders be voted according to they have done to their people. “Kenya needs leaders who are development minded so as to solve current crisis”, he said.
The visit came while the area MP Raila Odinga was at another function in Kisii to officiate at a tree planting ceremony.
