President Uhuru Kenyatta has promised to ensure his government creates more than 6.5 million extra quality jobs, for the youth if given another term.
Speaking during a live online conversation on Facebook, Kenyatta said he has put in place an Action Plan that will ensure creation of more jobs over the next five years.
“My Action Plan will transform the progress we have made over the last four years, into real benefits for all Kenyans. Over the next 5 years, my Government will create 6.5 million extra quality jobs, especially for the youth,” President Kenyatta said.
“I want to have a candid conversation with all Kenyans – a conversation about the progress we’ve made and the policies for the future – not politics and power-games,” President Kenyatta added.
He further pointed out to the work his administration has done in the last four years, saying they have laid the best foundation for more work in the next couple of year.
“We’ve ensured more Kenyans have access to quality education and healthcare. And we’ve taken the fight to Al-Shabaab to make this country safer for every Kenyan family,” the President added.
He assured that in the next five years his administration will continue to invest in infrastructure, education and training, small enterprises and a 21st Century high-tech economy that will drive prosperity and job creation for all.
