To grow faster, Kenya needs the right skills set

Kenya: President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto read from the same page, earlier this week, when they appealed for the development of a skilled workforce to run the local and continental economies in a manner that makes them globally competitive.

Interestingly, although the two leaders were addressing different audiences, their message was the same. Analysts see this unity of vision — and purpose — as Kenya’s current key competitive edge particularly when it is viewed against the backdrop of the immediate past administration whose members thrived on public disagreements.
