Kenya’s leading politicians are burning the midnight oil in a bid to win the minds and souls of the youth, a critical mass in the country’s election campaigns.
The charm offensive by politicians is coming at a time when millions of youths have been rendered jobless by a weakening economy and now have had to resort to various odd means to eke out a living.
Riding on the disillusionment created by a depressed economy and a heavily indebted government which has failed to fulfill its campaign promise of creating millions of jobs, partly derailed by the Covid-19 pandemic, a number have drifted to the promised land of a wheelbarrow economy.
