Hon. Leah Sankaire, known for her dedication to critical projects within the county, has notably shifted her attention to the youth, introducing the ‘SANKAIRE SUPER CUP.’ This innovative concept, warmly received by the community, reflects the Women Rep’s commitment to fostering youth engagement. She has expressed her intent to make this an annual event, starting at the ward level for gentlemen and expanding to the constituency level for ladies.

During an exclusive interview at Paran, Hon. Sankaire emphasized her commitment not only to sponsor the activities but also to actively participate, engaging with the youth to understand their concerns in a language that resonates with their experiences. This approach aims to establish a meaningful connection between the youth and their government, fostering a platform for addressing their issues through the Women Representative.

Beyond providing a constructive and engaging activity during the holiday season, the SANKAIRE SUPER CUP serves as a proactive measure against challenges like early pregnancies, early marriages, FGM, and substance abuse that often result from youth idleness.

Moreover, the event encourages youth to explore and appreciate their talents, potentially transforming these skills into avenues for success and pride. The Women Representative’s office plans to acknowledge the winning teams with various awards, including a cash prize of 200Ksh, a trophy, jerseys, balls, and gold medals. The second and third runners-up will also receive recognition and support.

On a better part of Monday, November 13, Kenyans were left scratching their heads on at the sight of a Volkswagen GTI apparently moonlighting as a tractor in Narok. The Volkswagen GTI was hitched to a disc tractor 

Picture this: a sleek Volkswagen GTI, worth a cool Ksh2 million, gets a major career change and decides to become a farming sensation in Narok. This urban chariot has gone rural! The photo sparked lively discussions and heated debates across the nation.

Fueling the speculations, some Kenyans suggested that the GTI had been rented from a Nairobi-based company, making a grand entrance into Narok for its unexpected farming gig, and then transformed into a plow-wielding superstar. A popular facts-sharing social media handle added more drama, claiming that a vigilant car rental agency had noticed peculiar zig-zagging patterns in one of their cars. The investigation led them to the heart of Narok’s farmland. A car chase of rural proportions!

“A rental cars agency, noticed, for over a week, the GPS of one of their cars indicated intense zigzag movement in one location; they checked it out and found this,” read part of the post.

Paran decided to put on its detective hat and declared the viral reports as ‘fake news.’ The photo was not taken in Narok but in Algeria. It seems someone thought a Kenyan GTI would make for a better farm story. Kenyans, always on top of the latest trends, mistook it for a local phenomenon. Not to burst the farming bubble, but the GTI isn’t sowing seeds in Narok – it’s just a case of internet déjà vu.

But there’s a twist. A reverse image search on google revealed the original photo dates back to November 2018.

However the part about the car being rented out to a farmer to be true. The car rental agency’s GPS had been tracking its unexpected off-road adventure for over a week, creating a saga that added more fuel to the viral fire.

Also while the plate size matched Kenyan standards, Kenyan plates usually sport three numbers followed by a letter. Our GTI was apparently overachieving as it had five numbers, contrary to the norm in the country.

This photo has become a global sensation, some users claiming it was taken in the Philippines. Back in Kenya, the photo gained traction, as we fell for the ‘rural GTI farmer’ narrative, probably because it’s rainy season. Who knew farming could get this sporty?
