Response to a Silent Crisis Facing Kabete Youth

Kabete Constituency has recently witnessed a worrying rise in youth suicides, a painful signal of deep social and mental health challenges affecting our young people. This reality demands leadership that listens, engages, and acts.

It is for this reason that Hon. James Wanjohi has made a deliberate decision to engage youths directly and inclusively, creating safe spaces where they feel seen, valued, and supported.

The Wanjohi Super Dart Tournament marks a historic first—the first darts tournament in Kabete ever initiated by a leader at constituency level. Beyond sport, it is a platform for connection, mentorship, talent nurturing, and positive engagement.

The tournament brings together 25 darts groups competing for top honors, with the winning team set to receive KSh 50,000. To officially kick off the competition, Hon. Wanjohi contributed KSh 250,000 toward the prize pool, underscoring his hands-on leadership and belief in investing directly in young people.

By bringing youths together through healthy competition and community activities, the initiative seeks to restore hope, fight isolation, and address idleness, which often fuels depression, substance abuse, and despair.

This is leadership that understands that saving lives begins with engagement, presence, and opportunity—not speeches alone.
