Ruto, Raila told to give sufuria movement youth
jobs
President
William Ruto and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga have been told to give jobs
to the youth who participated in the anti-Government protests known as Sufuria
Movement last year.
Former
President of the East African Law Society James Mwamu says the Youths who
participated in the Sufuria Movement agitated for changes like lowering the
cost of living among other issues hence
should never be forgotten once the ODM Party leader Raila Odinga and President
Ruto have signed a deal to work together.
He says the
Government must be told that there is need to create employment for Kenyans,
adding that it was one of the election pledges during the campaigns ahead of
2022 polls.
Addressing the
press at his Kisumu Office, Mwamu said it is quite unfortunate that some of the
youths who were arrested during such protests are still having cases pending
before courts in various parts of the country Kisumu County included.
Mwamu says
such cases should now be dropped since both Raila and Ruto are now working
together for the betterment of this country.
“Raila
Odinga should ensure that all the cases against the youth who participated in
the Sufuria Movement Protests across the country are terminated by the Kenya
Kwanza Government headed by President Dr. William Ruto,” Mwamu says.
Mwamu says
this will really show a good will that the Government of the day is ready to
cooperate with the people of Kenya.
Mwamu at
the same time has reminded President Ruto and Former Prime Minister Raila
Odinga that the Economy of this country is still not doing well and it is an
issue that must be addressed alongside lowering the cost of living for Kenyans.
He says the
issue of corruption should also be dealt with; adding the issue of pilferage
and theft of Public funds is still high.
The Former
East African Law Society President has urged the Government to address the
challenges facing the education Sector in the country especially the issue of
Grade ten where those who are currently at Grade nine will join come next year in January.
