In this new exciting and challenging position, Kinuthia will deal, amongst others, with issues such as, Youth Development, Youth Organizations and National Youth Policy which comes in the face of a myriad of challenges facing the youth of Kenya which numbers about 9.1 million and accounts for 32 percent of the Kenyan population.
Kinuthia has a long and varied engagement with youth organisations and youth issues. On top of his personal qualities, experience and competence, his professional position and exposure with World Scouting during the last five years undoubtedly has been and will be an asset in this new position.
