President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday launched the Young African Work Program.
During the unveiling of the programme, Uhuru made fun of Cabinet Secretaries who stood when he was referred to them in his speech.
Uhuru reminded them that there was no need for them to waste time in the name of standing. He started with CS for Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) Joe Mucheru when he referred to him.
"In fact, if you can recall, not long ago, we were involved with the Minister here Mucheru..Sit down my friend, “Uhuru reminded him before he sat.
Uhuru, who is completing his second and final term in government, later referred to CS for Sports, Heritage, and Culture, Amina Mohammed. Amina followed the footsteps of Mucheru and stood up.
Uhuru was forced to remind them that there was no reason for them to do so. “Kindly there is no need stand, these are not the olden days," he continued with his speech.
During the session, Uhuru promised to stand with the youth before he completes his tenure.
He said that the youth have endless opportunities while noting that he has created many jobs for them. He also said that his government has more projects in place to help the youth.
