Kindiki urges youth to demand better governance, avoid violence

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has challenged the youth to continue asking hard questions on the country’s governance, assuring them of a proactive response to their concerns.

Prof. Kindiki was speaking when he engaged with youth leaders, artists, content creators and musicians from Embu County at home in Irunduni, Tharaka Nithi County, where he assured them that the Kenya Kwanza administration is deliberately finding solutions to the challenges facing the youth, including unemployment, which remains a stumbling block to the country’s progress.

He said that the government has come up with some programs to reduce the number of jobless young people, including Kazi Kwa Ground initiative, The Kazi Mtandaoni, Kazi Majuu among others, to tackle unemployment in Kenya.

The DP said in preparation for the job market, the administration has overhauled the education system from the bottom in order to align it with the present challenges and needs including reviewing the university funding model to make it more accommodating.
