Despite campaigns by both the national and county governments to empower the youth, it has emerged that only 15 Nairobi City County (NCC) employees, out of a workforce of 14,000 are aged below 30 years!

Speaking to The Nairobian at his City Hall office, Deputy Governor Jonathan Mueke admitted that this was a serious issue, since a majority of Nairobi’s residents are young.
