Buzeki Rallies Gen Z to Register as Voters, Vows to Support Youth Entrepreneurship in Uasin Gishu

 

 Former Uasin Gishu gubernatorial aspirant Zedekiah Bundotich, popularly known as Buzeki, has urged young Kenyans, particularly members of Generation Z, to take voter registration seriously and ensure their voices are heard in the upcoming elections.

In a passionate message shared on social media, Buzeki expressed concern over the low voter registration turnout since the exercise began, terming it “painfully low” and a threat to youth participation in shaping Kenya’s future.

“Gen Z, time to rise and be counted! Don’t wait to regret later when others decide your future,” Buzeki said.

He emphasized that while the region remains united in supporting the reelection of the President, all other elective positions—from Member of County Assembly (MCA) to Governor—should be open to individual choice based on integrity, vision, and selflessness.

“Let’s be clear: as a region, our only united stand is the reelection of the President. Every other seat is wide open for you to choose leaders with vision and integrity,” he added.

Buzeki also announced plans to establish a Special Fund in Uasin Gishu County to support youth entrepreneurs — a commitment he said was part of his 2022 manifesto. The initiative, dubbed NYOTA Fund, will target innovative and hardworking young people seeking to expand their businesses.

“We will establish a special fund to support youth entrepreneurs like NYOTA — to empower hardworking and talented young entrepreneurs to grow and scale their dreams. It will be implemented on merit, no shenanigans,” he said.

The business magnate and philanthropist also took the opportunity to wish success to students sitting for national exams, urging them to remain focused and diligent.

“To all students sitting exams, may success follow your preparation and hard work,” he stated.

Buzeki concluded his message with a rallying call for young people to take charge of their destiny by registering and voting, declaring:

 “Let’s build the future we want. Tuchukue control, kata kura!”
