The National Treasury Chief Administrative Secretary CAS Hon Erick Simiyu has termed the youth unemployment in Africa a crisis. Speaking during the launch of the Africa peer review conference at a Nairobi Hotel early today Mr. Simiyu blamed the slow growth of African economies as an impediment for absorption of the increasing number of unemployed youth in Africa.
” Pictures of African youth taking dangerous and treacherous boat rides across the Mediterranean sea seeking economic refuge in Europe while other forced to take less satisfactory jobs in the middle east is a wake up call for Africa to put her house in order and tackle unemployment as a major crisis” Said the CAS.
The Chief Administrative secretary in making his concluding remarks however acknowledged that the Kenya government has put policies in place to curb on the unemployment crisis in Kenya
