Employers are taking advantage not the situation to get cheap labour

Upussie report ati between ages 15-24 yrs are the most unemployed as if teenagers are employed.

This is the result of a messed up system, this country is a perfect example of that analogy of a guy who plants maize seeds and expects to harvest mangoes.

Look at it this way, Agriculture is our biggest sector, it is where most of our money comes from but how much investment is directed towards supporting such an important sector? How does our education system help us equip young kenyans with the right mentality in relation to agriculture?

The same scenario is replicated across most economic sectors, kusema ukweli there are no quick fixes for these problems lazima tufanye complete overhaul of our systems.

Shida iko hapa, proliferation of universities made every tom dick and harry a graduate. Now hiyo term “graduate” made people have a class for the work they can do. Kila mtu anataka kazi ya suit and tie, because its the perceived job that a “graduate” should do.

In 2015 nikiwa hustle fulani, I accessed a leading financial institutions registry, where unsolicited CV’s are stored, (hawatupangi, I dont know why). Nikaambiwa hizo ni applications naona hapo ni za about 2 years, about 200 thousand applications for a company that recruits around 100 per year. Hizo cv zinaeza jaza FH mzima walahi.

That guy cannot be assisted. How can some1 want to do anything that comes his way in this life? What did he go to campus to study?

Problem with Kenyans is they think all their problems will be solved by elections. With this kind of thinking, yenyewe we have a problem…not with the employers, but with the potential and existing employees. I think critical thinking course needs to made mandatory in schools.

Good leadership solves many problems. If safaricom didnt have good top leadership, it wouldn’t be a multibillion company it is now.

You do realize ukienda kusomea vitu kama microbiology, forensic science etc u will end up ata kutafuta sales jobs…
