[kictanet] Day3 of 3:-Re: #First100Days #ICTWishList

[Dorcas Muthoni]

Listers,

Walu, thanks for bringing this up and CS for welcoming it.

My Wish list request:
Use and leverage technology to address Kenya's ticking time bomb of youth
unemployment.

I know we are all excited to see CS Mucheru and his team steering our
country's economic growth and transformation using ICT.  We can ask and
also offer support to the CS.

My company OPENWORLD LTD is willing to invest KES  120 Million into this
project.

NB: Roughly 70 percent of the Kenyan working age youth - almost 10 million
people - are unemployed, although a surprising number are very well
educated and possess the kinds of skills a healthy economy. Indeed,  the
key self taught skill for these working age youth are ICT via mobile.
Joblessness among all people of working age is a serious problem in Kenya,
but among young people, it is a catastrophe.

Best, Muthoni
