It is an affirmation of the safe spaces in KANU for the youth to showcase their talents and hone their leadership skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said on top of the membership recruitment, the party has constituted a new Standing Committee on NEC to help manage the party affairs and evaluate the party\u2019s performance.\u00a0\u00a0According to Gideon,\u00a0 the ongoing activities will revamp the party and streamline its operations in readiness for the next General Election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor sometimes now, we have been rolling out a series of activities to revamp our grassroots structures and consolidate our national support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Kanu chairman and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi (pictured) has said Kanu is headed in the right direction as the country gears towards the 2022 General Election.
