Deputy President Gachagua Under Fire for Youth Support Policies

Kenyan Deputy President Criticized for Youth Support Policies Kangema, Murang'a County, Kenya – A recent video circulating online shows Joe Nyutu delivering a scathing critique of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's approach to youth empowerment. The speech, delivered at a church in Kangema, directly challenges Gachagua's methods, arguing that providing small sums of money is not an effective solution to the problem of youth unemployment. "Letea vijana wetu kazi za maana, wacha kuwaletea shilingi mia tano kukunywa nayo pombe!" Nyutu stated, which translates to "Give our youth meaningful jobs, stop giving them 500 shillings to drink alcohol!" Nyutu's passionate speech highlights a growing concern about the lack of economic opportunities for young Kenyans. The video has sparked debate online, with many expressing support for Nyutu's call for more substantial government initiatives. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Kenya in addressing unemployment among its youth population. The event serves as a reminder of the need for comprehensive strategies that go beyond short-term financial assistance.
