Kenya Needs a 'Deliberate and Focused' approach on Unemployment, says Hon. Sakaja

Hon. Johnson Sakaja is sponsoring the National Youth Employment Authority (NYEA) Bill (2015) which is meant to be a one-stop-shop for anyone looking for employment. The Bill is premised on the lack of accurate data on unemployment in Kenya and knowledge among youth, especially graduates on how to go about seeking for a job. It is an added effort by Government to help people find jobs, both locally and internationally. In doing this, the Bill proposes to provide incentives to both public and private institutions who use the Authority's database to recruit staff. In this first part of a two part series interview, Hon. Sakaja shares his thoughts that informed the Bill.
