It is true that we need to add as much value to university programs so that graduates are more aware of society problems and more capable of working towards solutions (employed or not).
But the whole aggression about pushing a narrative portraying graduates as a misfit for the job market is meant to disinterest youth from university education, justify defunding of universities and prime graduates to take up crappy jobs for crappy pay in the name of not being skilled enough.
We know that those jobs aren’t even there. I’m yet to see companies that say that they have jobs but can’t get people to fill those jobs. Only companies laying people off exist in this economy.
That narrative is dangerous for a country that wants to produce a population at par with the rest of the world.
Graduate journalists, please stop advancing apartheid on graduates by covering these stories. Those fictitious jobs for which graduates are a misfit for are nonexistent in this economy.
Ask those people to list those jobs. They’ll shut up. The issue is the economy for production of jobs.
Skills can be acquired.

@WanjikuHSC The whole lot of kisii speaking brothers landed here to remind you where Matiangi comes from and to display their ignorance of the freedoms owned through the constitution. Tuwaambie au tuwaache tu?
@ProfKibwana Typical narcissistic approach. They push us to the corner and when we react they start to play victim. The politics doesn't mirror the rotten social media etiquette.....it's the other way round Prof.
@florence_mutua Politics in it's very nature is dynamic and that comes the constantly rolling wheel if change. If the changes you make serve to keep you afloat within circles of leadership, so be it. I wish you the best in your next move, whichever it may be. Leadership isnt defined by party.
@dan_nyagah And here you are looking to grow into someone noticeable by using the same name - Raila. Without mentioning it your tweets become irrelevant.
