\u201cOur job creation programme is on course. We are making every effort to accelerate it and push the number of people who engaged in meaningful employment higher and be able to account for ourselves as a generation and as a country,\u201d Kindiki noted.<\/p>\n

Kindiki outlined that through affordable and social housing, more than 160,000 youths have been engaged and another 200,000 young people across the 47 Counties on the Climate Resilience Program \u2018ClimateWorkx\u2019 to foster climate resilience.<\/p>\n
