As Nairobi continues to undergo a transformation, a group of youths behind the city's beautification project are facing a crisis of their own - unpaid salaries for four months.

According to sources, the youths were hired to work on various projects aimed at improving the city's appearance, but despite their hard work, they have not received their salaries on time.

The lack of payment has left the youths struggling to make ends meet, with some even considering abandoning their jobs. 'We have been working tirelessly for months, but our salaries have not been paid,' said one of the youths. 'This is not only unfair but also demotivating.'

The situation has sparked concerns about the welfare of the youths and the effectiveness of the beautification project. 'We urge the authorities to intervene and ensure that the youths receive their salaries as soon as possible,' said a spokesperson for the group.
