Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports, and the Arts Ababu Namwamba


Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports, and the Arts Ababu Namwamba disbanded the Talanta Hela Council and Technical Committees.


Namwamba repealed Gazette Notice No. 1649 of 2023, which established the Talanta Hela Council and two technical committees for the programme—Sports and Creatives—in a Gazette Notice dated June 7.


This occurs as the Talanta Hela Programme is slated to begin on Friday at the State House in Nairobi.


Last month, High Court Justice Lawrence Mugambi halted the project pending the outcome of a petition Charles Mugane filed contesting the programme's legality.


The CS established the Talanta Hela Council and the two technical committees to help with the initiative's implementation, which aims to find, attract, develop, and monetize talents in the sports and creative industries.


One of the members of the council that Namwamba presided over was Denis Itumbi, along with Charles Gacheru and Jane Chepkemei.


Publicity Personality The Sports Technical Committee's new chairman is Carol Radull.


Former Harambee Stars players Sammy Sholei and Boniface Ambani, as well as former World javelin gold medalist Julius Yego, served on the committee.


The Creative Technical Committee's chairman was Daniel "Churchill" Ndambuki.


Akinyi Odongo, Jimmi Gathu, Catherine Kamau, Esther Akoth (Akothee), Kizito Makhande, Azziad Nasenya, Rosemary Wahu Kagwi, Awadhi Salim, Douglas Kipkirui Langat, and Susan Ekasiba were all members of the creative committee.
