Cynicism abounds over Kazi kwa Vijana

While Okech Kendo’s optimism about the ‘Kazi kwa Vijana’ initiative is admirable (The Standard of 19/03/09), you need to appreciate that optimism is a hard sell in Kenya today.

And this is not because one merely wishes to be a cynic. Kenyans have good reason to be sceptical of initiatives by a Government that is more adept at doing the wrong things than the opposite.
