Youth of Kenya it's about time we wake up, get up and move towards a brighter future.
A recent visit to the central Kenya revealed the unseeable yet existing rotten attitude towards life that is common among quite a lartge number of youth in Kenya today. It was during a light conversation with a group of these young Kenyans that the real impact of joblessness has on these lads. According to one of them he had gone through the infamous 8-4-4 system, graduated from college but could not nail a job. To him the future was growing dimmer day by day now that he got the papers required for getting a job, which he couldn't get, and he had no way to start his own business.
His was a lamentation about the current state of unemployment in Kenya. He seemed stuck between a rock and a hard place- in this case the rock being unemployment while the hard place being lack of capital to start a  business of his own.
Guys nowadays things have changed. Gone are the days when one was born of an aging father and by the time this new born passed teenage and gained full maturity the old man is at his final days and is willing to leave to his sons all his fortunes. Nowadays things are different, young Kenyans reach maturity when their fathers are barely forties. you cannot dare to bring up a topic on inheritance to such a father. As a matter of fact, at 40s the senior guy has just started to enjoy his life. He's at a relieving stage after channeling much of his money to your education.
So what happens to today's youth, they are obligated to hit the road and make a living through ways God knows how. Most of them will knock at the offices that they believe can tap their untapped potential. this does not end well as most of them are dismissed with a simple yet heavy statement "we shall get back to you soon". Honestly, most of these job application letters don't go past the reception and if they do their destiny is litter bin. At first the faith of these jobseekers is enough to make them wait but as time passesby the faith grows thin. They start losing hope.
By the time these young jobseekers become impatient, their pockets are drying up and living an extra day in the city tarmarking becomes almost impossible. Inadequancy in finance knocks these upcoming adults down to the ground sending them back to their mother's houses. So unfortunate is the weak-at-heart young Kenyans who accept defeat and condemns himself to hopeless life.
 The harsh truth that these youth are finding hard to stomach is the fact that corruption is so huge on  ground that the day-to-day develpments being attained by the nation have been relegated to an unnoticeable point. But this is the reality that we must accept or better yet try to make it better.
In my opinion the best solution  to these youth is to maintain a sound mind and try to live your life more positively. None of us knows when we die and until then it is important to make each and every day count. Make sure you your actions and thoughts are set on a positive note.
Take care and let's all look forward to a brighter Kenya.
