Gov’t Announces Casual Jobs(SEPTEMBER 2024); 1,000 Vacancies/ Application Process

Gov’t Announces Casual Jobs: Machakos county government plans to hire 1,000 youths over the next 12 months under “Ng’arisha Mtaa na Governor Wavinya Ndeti Programme,” a project aimed at revitalizing local communities through environmental cleanup efforts.

The county plans to engage youth between the ages of 18 and 35, mirrors the now-defunct Kazi Mtaani initiative.

The Notice Read,”This initiative is a testament to our commitment to creating employment opportunities for our youth. The County Government of Machakos is hiring 1,000 youths as casuals across the county for the next 12 months. This is not just about cleaning up; it’s about giving our young people a chance to earn a living and contribute to the well-being of their communities.”

This move comes at a time when the national government, under President William Ruto, is re-evaluating the possibility of reviving the Kazi Mtaani programme, which was initially introduced during former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure.

The programme was discontinued in September 2022, with Ruto citing concerns over its misuse for political gain and the mismanagement of public funds.

However, in a recent speech in Nakuru, President Ruto hinted at a potential return of the programme, responding to public demand for its revival.

“There are women here who have told me they want Kazi Mtaani. Starting next week, 500 people will be working here under that plan,” the President stated,

Ruto stated, “This is so that we can make sure more young people can get employment opportunities.”
