Ngina Kenyatta, daughter of President Uhuru Kenyatta, has sparked controversy with her advice to unemployed youth in Kenya to seek solutions in new and innovative fields.
Speaking at a forum in Nairobi on Friday, November 15, 2019, Ngina emphasized the need for a progressive mindset to adapt to the ever-changing world.
She urged African leaders to empower the youth for a better tomorrow, citing the saying 'give a man a fish and feed him for one day, show him how to fish and feed him for a lifetime.'
Ngina's sentiments were met with skepticism by some members of the online community, who questioned her understanding of the issue and her family's role in creating unemployment.
'Look who is advising the youth on unemployment….. Does she know how it feel to look for work to survive,' said Ogola Michael.
'Tell your father to stop employing our grandfathers,' commented Blasto Bla.
'The poor have become the laboratory for the rich kids. Advise me on how to bargain for a Lamborghini, the rest I can google,' said Ndiritu Mike.
