Westlands Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Tim Wanyonyi has met Bradley Marongo, the wonder man who hit headlines during the widespread Gen Z-led anti-government protests.
The lawmaker on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, took to his official X account to ask Kenyans for ideas on a project that can help empower Marongo.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) MP said he had hosted Marongo at his office in his bid to empower young people with the opportunities and the support they may need to build their future.
“I hosted Bradley Marongo aka “Gen Z Goliath”, who hails from Kangemi in Westlands constituency. We are empowering our young people with the opportunities and support they need to build their future. Mnaona tupatie Bradley Mradi Gani?” Wanyonyi stated.
