Bring your agenda for youth employment, Ruto tells opposition

The President said inciting the youth to cause chaos and destroy property cannot be the alternative to job creation.
President William Ruto has challenged his competitors to outline their alternative agenda for job creation.
The President said inciting the youth to cause chaos and destroy property cannot be the alternative to job creation.
He said he has a solid plan that is already generating hundreds of thousands of jobs for young people, contrary to his rivals who, he said, have no plan.
He pointed out that the Climate WorX programme has created 200,000 jobs nationally, while more than 320,000 are working in the Affordable Housing Programme.
This number will be doubled in the next three months.
He said already 400,000 have secured jobs under labour mobility, and 180,000 in digital jobs, among others.
“What is your plan? It cannot be that your plan is to incite and pay young people to destroy property and burn businesses. That is not acceptable,” he said.
Speaking in Dandora during the inspection of the Nairobi River Regeneration programme, President Ruto urged the youth to reject leaders who have no agenda for the country or solutions to tackle unemployment and other challenges.
