Patrick Muthomi is one of the university elites in Kenya who are the witnesses of joblessness in the country.
The bachelor of commerce holder from Chuka University parades himself along the Thika highway on a daily basis with a banner held high up to advertise himself to any potential employer who might be interested in offering him a job.
The banner contained his name,qualifications picture, and contact.
His wife, Joyce Muthomi is, however, hopeful that her husband will be receiving good news very soon judging from the phone calls he has been receiving lately. However, Muthomi who has also sold serviettes,tissues and air fresheners says that there is nothing like job scarcity in Kenya but the problem is that one has to know someone in order to get the job making it hell for those who don't have connections.
The father of one lives in Mwiki estate in Nairobi.
This is, however, not a new case as several weeks ago another Kenyan,Gilbert,an engineering graduate from the Technical University of Kenya found himself in the same situation ending up putting up a banner as well.
Joblessness is becoming rampant with reports showing that 50,000 students graduate from universities every year some of them being half baked and not able to be competitive in the job industry.
