CS Wycliffe Oparanya warns youth against misusing NYOTA project funds, announcing strict digital monitoring to ensure the World Bank-backed billions create real jobs.

Cooperatives CS Wycliffe Oparanya has issued a stern warning to beneficiaries of the multi-billion shilling NYOTA project: misuse the funds, and the government will turn off the tap immediately.
The National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) project, a flagship World Bank-funded initiative, aims to empower 820,000 Kenyan youth through entrepreneurship grants and savings schemes. However, concerns over embezzlement and "tenderpreneurship" culture have prompted the state to implement rigorous digital tracking of every shilling disbursed.
Speaking in Kakamega, Oparanya emphasized that the funds are not "free money" for luxury but seed capital for economic liberation. He revealed that a digital monitoring system now tracks beneficiary spending patterns in real-time.
With youth unemployment at crisis levels, NYOTA represents a critical lifeline. Oparanya’s hardline stance signals a government desperate to ensure this stimulus package yields actual jobs rather than vanishing into the pockets of a few.
