Kikuyu youth

To the youth of this country:
You voted on tribal lines especially Mt. Kenya and Rift valley for incompetent leadership. Your instincts told you otherwise but hatred and greed as cleverly implanted in you by tribal bigots took the day.

All youth fell for the tired phrase... "OUR YOUTH WILL GET JOBS AND LOANS".

I have come across so desperate youth who cannot afford to live alone because they cannot manage rent, food, transport and clothing at the age of 30s. Majority do not have jobs and those who "work" are always at the lowest salary scale.

Tell me how a college graduate will survive with Kshs.12,000 per month! This has resulted in depression, alcoholism, early marriage for girls. Do you remember the promise of paid internship? Who is an intern and earning Ksh.20k? 

Please youth, let no one lie to you will colourful and empty words, even your fellow youthful leaders.
Look for substance in a person no matter the age. You are all in danger of living in less than a dollar a day if you fall for cheap and well orchestrated lies.

How will you take care of your children? Take a stand on land grabbing, looting, corruption, nepotism and wasteful projects lest you become the generation that saw the country decaying.
