Denis Itumbi Defends State House Empowerment Program Amid Scam Claims 🔑 Summary Event Date: August 9, 2025, at State House Nairobi. Criticism: Some attendees said they left empty-handed. Itumbi’s Clarification: Program targeted registered groups, not individuals. Distribution Process: Only group chairmen were authorized to collect items. Public Reaction: Kenyans divided; some still demand transparency. Clarification from Itumbi The Head of Creative Economy and Special Projects in the Office of the President, Denis Itumbi, has dismissed allegations that the recent State House empowerment program was a scam. “No items were issued to individuals. The empowerment targeted 1,150 groups, each consisting of 10 people. Only the group chairmen were allowed to collect the items. That was the official process. Even lying, to paraphrase President Kibaki, requires some design!” Itumbi stated. His remarks followed a Citizen TV report in which some Nairobi residents accused organizers of misleading youths who attended the empowerment forum. Background of the Program The August 9 empowerment forum was part of government efforts to strengthen youth entrepreneurship, cooperative societies, and innovation. According to Itumbi, the group-based distribution method was chosen to ensure accountability and the sustainability of resources provided. Public Reactions Despite Itumbi’s clarification, skepticism remains among many Kenyans online. Some argue that the communication surrounding the event was unclear, while others have called on the government to embrace greater transparency in similar initiatives moving forward.
