The country cannot afford to spend billions of shillings to please three individuals at the expense of creating jobs for the millions of youth who actually need them, State House has said.

State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu said it was unfortunate that instead of creating wealth, the opposition's plan is to abuse existing wealth so that three people can get jobs.
