"We need to empower youth, especially men, so that they do not get into crime and drug indulgence," he said.
The winner will receive Sh5 million, while the first runner-up will pocket Sh3 million.
A curtain-raising match between Gor Mahia FC and the AFC Leopards will usher in the finals, according to officials.
