I'm becoming an illusion. I issue about young people thinking that once I graduated and have a degree on my hand, I'm entitled to get a job. It's actually becoming difficult. In that, we are now trying to ask people to be what we call creative in nature. Creativity doesn't mean that you provide so many unique and have technical skills. It means thinking of how you use what you have But if it is provided for a job, there is a place for young people to be provided for a job. We cannot be talking about getting a job yourself, but at the same time providing young people with opportunities. For example Agpuh, look at the people who have actually secured contracts within Agpuh. Most of them I can guarantee you they are people who are actually established. Bwifili before we go to the next one. That's what I've said. I'm very keen on statistics that are given from certain government institutions even though they're the ones that should be providing us with accurate statistics, that is subject to interrogation. But even if there's a decline of unemployment, I would be interested in which kind of employment for young people. The problem that we are now dealing with is much much of skills. I think this is one thing that we should be looking. Let Kenyans not be proud that the number of young people, as many as we can assume in the joakali industry, that is what we should be celebrating. I am telling you, there are skills, there are very critical skills that are leaving tertiary institutions, that we cannot say that this must be absorbed within the informal employment. Can we provide a space where people meet the skills that they went to school to acquire? Alex, two things very fast on the counter reaction. We were talking about the whole world experiencing unemployment. The difference between Kenya and those other places is that they take the responsibility. They know that it's their responsibility to employ youths. So if they have not employed them, they take the burden by paying them something to sustain them because it's their responsibility. In Kenya, what they do, what the politicians do, they say, create jobs for yourself, be an employer. How do you do that? No people shouting, create jobs are all employed, including MPs. We have employed them, they come to us 75 years to come, to us for our votes to employ them. Talk of those who are in the Parastatals, they are all employed and then they are telling us to employ ourselves. Do you think the government is able to feed other unemployed people? Why not if other countries are doing it? In that way, if they do it, if they attempt doing it, then they will see how to create employment for youths because they will get the burden of feeding all the youths who are not employed. So they should attempt solving it, they should attempt paying them so that they feel the burden so that they start creating employment reactively. Right, yes, before we go to an employer. We are having a population of right now over 40 million. I don't know, subject to what these censors would actually prove. Then we are headed to 45, maybe 47 million, even 50. Let's also consider the fact that we are overpopulated. Let me begin with growth rate is an issue. Compare it to Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Norway. Now look, my co-parent list mentioned an issue about taking responsibility. For example, in a country like Denmark that has a population around 5 or 6 million, let me say so. You realize that what I saw is what they do is probably to try to have a cushionary effect of when, if a young person is out from school, after school, they are calling it gymnasium, for example, that is equal to universities that we are having, is that they make sure that social services are provided to these young people. If you are not employed, for example, you are asked to report to a job center, like each and every week, and this is a job center where you gain your stipend. Yes, they actually give your stipend to sustain you. Why is that happening? It's simply because, let us also look on the flip side, these Scandinavian countries tax properly. They tax their population so that if you would want to be sustained, if you want to have a renumeration, have a decent housing, have a decent medical cover, you must be willing to pay your taxes. So, as the guys of employment, and this is now the politics that we don't always understand in our campaigns, if let's be very honest about our population, however much you expect government to provide a cushionary effect to unemployed young people and other people, vulnerable people, be very sure to fund that system, be very sure to pay it as much taxes as you can. According to the statistics that we have in here, but I don't understand so much on this, but I want us to go to page 16 of this pdf that talks about the main barriers to finding and starting a job because we need to look at the youth empowerment issue. But when we look at this, it says that unemployment and inactivity rates among females are double compared to males. So, unemployment becomes now an issue when we narrow it down to the gender. Ya, but they can be slakies. When ladies are not employed, they have other ways. In fact, they come employed indirectly. The few of us who are employed, they seriously rob us. So, it's proper. So, if it were like now the opposite, that the ladies are now the ones employed, men are not employed, imagine how Kenya would be. Like, she's employed and you don't have... she's again coming to rob you the thing you don't have now. So, it's okay. So, let men be employed. We really just tried to say that we are having information that is saying that female are less of these and male of these. Well, again, 2009 census, there was this... I don't know whether it's myth or factual that we are having a number of females much compared to many as comparatively compared to male. Ya, like I said, let's wait for this one to reveal the actuality of that statistic. But then, looking at what has just been portrayed here, what are the underlying factors that pits female to have a double tragedy and double impact for matters of unemployment? I really look at the situation because that reflects nationally. There are some areas in this country, as we speak, even as much as there is education about young female who should be taken to school, you realize that culturally, in these areas there is much disadvantage as opposed to if in some cultures provided where men and female would actually go to school, you actually know the decision that these parents, for example, would take, who to take to school. And remember, if you take somebody to school, you're actually given a leeway for employment. So going to school and learning is an advantage for one to get employment. But realize that in these areas, some remote areas, even as we speak, some parents would choose to take male children to school and pretend that female would maybe get green pasture. I think this is probably one of the factors that we can attribute to that. Also when it comes to employment, the labor market, there are even some bosses who choose to employ male, simply because they fear that within the job market, if for example female become expectant, that would really create laws within a few months. So strategically, even as human rights, people are speaking about equal opportunities, matters of equity and equality. You realize within the hidden guys, some employers are actually considering that when it comes to employment. Who would I choose to employ? That's an issue. We do take care of them. One man can take care even over 7 or 8 of them. So that's an issue. Our team is almost up, but let me probably be straight forward on this. According to the Kenya Youth Empowerment Project, they say that lack of skills for 3% according to the graph. And the main barrier to start a new business stands at 85% due to social cultural constraints. So my question is, are we lacking young people who have lack of skills for the job market? Yes, we do have... Briefly because of time? Wrong choice of careers. Everybody wants a white collar job like mine. We're paying after university. Yes. While I was looking for, I was building a Simba. Simba is always that small house here, which you build before you build a big one. So I was looking for somebody who can paint it. There are no people who can paint it. We don't have plambas. Are we having an issue of people shifting from the rural areas to the urban areas? Not shift. People are choosing wrong careers. Everybody wants to be a teacher, to be a manager, to be a doctor. Ask any pupil in school. Nobody will tell you want to be a plamba. Nobody will tell you want to be a carpenter. We are all in a wrong skill. So we have clouded. We have seen flux of this white collar jobs where other skills are lacking. So we need to shift. We teach our children that it pays to be an engineer in other fields. As we wind up, the government has provided several projects for the young people. Some of them being establishing national youth competitions, so as to try and gain the, or rather establish the persons with particular skills. Do you think we have really projected the right figures and the right way for young people to try and bring them on board to reduce unemployment? Could I disabuse the notion that when we talk about youth employment and opportunities, it's always about skills. It's always about talents. Could we begin to assume that there are young people who are actually resourced, who need to be taken through mainstream institutions so that they would provide opportunities there because one of the undoing that we are having is wherever you mentioned youth empowerment project. People are thinking about provision of water tanks. People are thinking about provision of car wash. People are thinking about sports, skills, dancing, athletics and football. That is a percentage of a skill set up for young people. I am actually challenging government that we are having a serious intellectual capacity for some young people who might not really be interested in that skill set up but we always think about when you mentioned youth. But these are young people who are properly resourced that would sit in the mainstream ministries or mainstream government institution to provide leadership and hence the need for employment for them. Now, the other thing that we I am looking forward as we if we have a serious idea about the big four agenda, I think it is most important that we mainstream the youth issues within the big four agenda. If it is a housing issue, apart from asking young people to be constructors, build houses, would we have young people who are actually architectural designers? Could we have young people who have a skill and knowledge in provision for tenders? So that we would have a serious consideration as opposed to really getting the interest of young people in some small skills and experience here and there. Finally, there is a blessing in this case that we are naturally dealing with CBC as a new curriculum. It is a curriculum that sets forth building people's knowledge from the foundation that they are having. If this is meant to be a true case, I think the incoming of competence-based curriculum would actually help us to nurture young people with the resources to know exactly where their strength is and that would help us to nourish them and connect them to the right job. I think we need to call it a day because we are running out of time, but I want to give you 30 seconds each to kindly give you a final remarks. I thank the government for CBC. I'll be trained on what I need to do in the future. Up to now, payers' quads have not helped me. The monocotiladons have not helped me. The new concept has not found where to apply them. So the fact that they are CBC and I hope they will implement it rightly so that it's identified what you can do like they could have identified that would be president in future so that they teach me the management of people and resources. Alright, Dan. I think we have a country to secure. We as young people have a critical mass to decide, it's not a question of how, I think it's just a question of when. If we would critically, you know, rally behind our institution in the youth-driven initiative, then I think it becomes a basis of bargaining with the government on what we really need. So if we are always in the menu, then we cannot be in the eating table. It is important for us to be at the decision-making point. That is when we decide what is good for us. Alright, many thanks for making it gentleman. And as my panelist has said, it's paramount of course for young people to be involved in each and every decision that is therefore required for us of course even as young people. My name is Karanja Alex. Many thanks for keeping it right. It has been youth and politics and from us, we wrap it up. Val is coming up next.
