Reality Check

It has just been one of those pessimistic what is happening to Kenya days. Just came from a 2 day strategy session where we came across interesting data on Kenyan youth. Apparently over 60% of our population relies on Money transfer as a source of income. The number of self employed Kenyans are less that 10% of the population. The employed kenyans have also dropped to less than 10% of the Total population. The Kenyans getting income from the agricultural sector has also dropped to below 20%.
Basicaly we have no jobs, no water, our youth have no access to jobs, then you and I are the ones supporting about 80% of the Kenyan population. You know the way your relatives are always calling you for a hand out? Take it seriously they just have no options. Kazi kwa vijana is a hoax. Old money rules Kenya an New money (read looters of Public land and coffers) is not going to do anything about it because they are as thick as thieves. It is only you and me that can change the direction Kenya is spiralling towards. Be more passionate and more driven to create employment for another Kenyan because deep down every kenyan needs hope and is willing to work. Start thinking about the marginalised in society and Join Irene Mbari-Kirika and other concietious Kenyan passionate about changing the destiny of many Kenyans. We the population living in Urban Kenya (35% of Kenya) must mobilize and go out into the rest of the Kenya to provide Education and exposure and enterprenurial skills so they can be self sustainable. Even if its setting up training facility or donating expertise, each one of us has to give back and pull up our fellow kenyan.
It shocks me that 15% of Kenyans still go without a meal every day. That is more than 10 million of us going hungry on a daily basis. By the way just right now open your MPESA menu and type in account no 10,000 and donate 300 bob to red cross.
Our leadership is busy fighting over Mau, TJRC, and God knows what else. The youth in Mau have mobilised to plant trees. It is you and I that will change Kenya. Be the change you want to see in Kenya. It starts with you. Please do something about it TODAY.
