Kenyan comedian Timothy Kimani, famously known as “Njugush,” has addressed the high rate of unemployment in the country.
Speaking through his social media page, he said that it is high time that Kenyans unite and voice out on the high cost of unemployment in the country before it gets too far.
This comes after Njugush noted the incident that was making headlines yesterday that saw hundreds and thousands of youths turn up for the job vacancy opportunity that was announced, which was only taking 360 people.
The situation stirred a lot of conversation online from the public, who shared their opinions on how bad the country’s state is and that so many people are unemployed, even urging the public to create more opportunities for the youth and the unemployed.
Njugush has spoken out, saying that the youth should be listened to and the government should do something to see that the unemployed also get jobs so that they can be able to fend for themselves. He also did share his disappointment with the current government for not stepping in and addressing the situation and instead making it way worse by even taxing the youth more, even after asking them to consider starting their own business to generate income.
Adding to that, it is so unfair how the government is taking advantage of the numbers that elected them into power by failing to fulfill the promises they had initially vowed to deliver to the public.
“No one is speaking about employment, especially for the youth, and when they do wanasema you self-employed yourself, then unatandikwa na taxes vizuuuri also business running in this country needs a magician.
But wait until it’s almost election time all of a sudden, Vijana Tutawaangalia. Hii kwanza, let’s forget kabisaaa…
The father of two urged the public to not fall victim to the political sweet promises and issued an open poll on where the public can air and share their grievances so that they can find a solution on how they can go about the whole situation so that everybody benefits.
“Shida iko wapi… Is it how we vote, who we vote, or even do we actually vote? Or should we know our goose is cooked and create our own systems and structures, or tuchimbe kisima tuingie wenyewe? Ebu tuongee kidogo.”
