Ruto: My Children Can't Find Jobs Either
President William Ruto has reaffirmed his administration's dedication to addressing the critical issue of youth unemployment in the country.
During a recent press briefing at State House in Nairobi on Sunday, Ruto shared personal insights, revealing that even his own children have faced challenges in securing employment. The youth unemployment crisis in Kenya mirrors a global challenge, with millions of young Kenyans struggling to find work despite completing their education. President Ruto has acknowledged the gravity of this situation and emphasizes the necessity for immediate and purposeful action.
While the President's children have pursued diverse career paths, including law, communication, and international relations, they have largely maintained a low public profile. Charlene Ruto, however, has gained recognition for her appointment as Kenya's Blood Ambassador by the Ministry of Health. In a move to create opportunities for Kenyan youth, the government has finalized an agreement with Germany set to be officially signed in September. This deal aims to provide 250,000 positions annually for Kenyans in Germany, particularly in sectors such as driving and caregiving.
This international collaboration represents a concrete step towards addressing the unemployment crisis. Recognizing the evolving landscape of work and digital opportunities, President Ruto has also engaged with social media platforms to empower Kenyan youth. His direct outreach to TikTok's leadership advocates for Kenyans to monetize their content on the platform, acknowledging that talent and career opportunities can flourish in non-traditional spaces.
To further equip young people with essential digital skills, the Kenyan government is establishing ICT hubs across the country. The government reports that these initiatives have already enabled 119,000 young individuals to access digital jobs. The President has encouraged those who have benefited from this training to mentor others, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and skill development.

The man is killing other people's children.
Ruto must go
I thought Kenyans are paying for The Office of the First Daughter, The First Son, and God knows the Office of the next First Who.
Even the one in Igbo land is not selling groundnuts & yams?
Really? Wow!!!! I am Lost for Words. Zizizizizizizizizi!🤔
Ruto’s nonsense must be stopped! Gen Z will die in large numbers if Ruto is left in the office! He must go because he does not care about the people of Kenya except his corrupt frens.
Ruto’s kids look evil like their father! The apple does not fall too far from the tree.
You can't blame for their unfortunate inheritance- it comes from both parents so it's difficult to overcome
Gen-Z’s effort to change Kenya will be ZERO if they won’t force a TOTAL OVERHAUL of the 2010 poop katiba to downsize the bloated government(s).It was/is a scam to finance the luxurious lives of less than 4000 thugs.A poor country like Kenya cannot afford 48 governments.A group of 6.2m Kenyan fools voted YES to nominating 900 prostitutes(to sexually service their male counterparts)with the lowest salary being shs 525000.They also voted to multiply all evils including corruption by 48 times.
Who will turn down job application for son or daughter of Ruto stop.. for political vis aviz favors..
