"I want to assure you that the job that has been done by this young man (Machele) will help so many youths in this area, I urge you to enroll, before the fee was about Ksh.35,000, today he's ensured to be ksh.15,000"
This event not only highlights the transformative efforts of the Mvita NG-CDF held and supervised by the area Mp Mohamed Soud Machele but also underscores their dedication to empowering the youth with essential skills for the global maritime industry.
Cabinet secretary for Blue economy and Mining Hon. Ali Hassan Joho instructed officials from KMA that they should make sure all Tvet schools in the coast region offers the maritime courses. "I hate repeating myself" lamented the Cs, "You can't tell me that there must be swimming pools for students to learn, you can partner with the institutions so that youths from this area get enough for their courses" Joho also called for coastal leaders to set aside their political differences and ensure they're working together for peace.
These new qualifications will open doors to job opportunities on shipping lines, further driving Mombasa’s vision as a hub for blue economy growth.
