President William Ruto has asked youth to use the knowledge they acquired at any level of their education to engage in any profitable business that can enable them put food on the table for themselves and their families.
“Even for those who did not complete primary school education it is not their mistake but we have to give them the opportunity by training them how to improve their lives,” said President Ruto.
The President was addressing the public on Thursday at Gusii during the launch of NYOTA business fund that will enable the youth to boost or start their own business and rely on themselves.
He told the youth to embrace saving culture which help them increase their wealth instead of spending the little cash they get in gambling and buying illicit beer that ruin their lives.
He said that since he came to power, Kenya has secured 500,000 job placements of the youth in the affordable housing programme and earn money directly to help themselves, encouraging them to be ambassadors of peace in the country for its continued prosperity.
