    "content": "However, I would like to note that it is not offering loans that will save our youth from the menace of unemployment. We have to address the issue of transition between secondary schools and institutions of higher learning. A majority of students are left down there. If we do not equip them with skills that will enable them to create jobs for themselves, then we are still sending them to the abuse of unemployment. On the same, we realize that offering loans to the youth may not be enough. I will give an analysis of that. If you give a youth a maximum of Kshs45,000 to start a business, a youth staying in Korogocho or Mathare slums will first spend Kshs15,000 on food because he has not even had food for some days. So, by the time he sets up the business, all the money is gone and he is supposed to repay the loan. I suggest a scenario where we should have a seed grant for the youth to establish themselves and train before they access the loans."
