Good People,
This is how Kenyans forget too quickly and kills job creation for the youth in Kenya.
These initiatives of self-creation youth talents and skills need to be encouraged, motivated, rewarded, supported and people must help them to perfection. They are the little things that improve economy and help our youth to be more creative.
These skills developments initiatives also take away our youth from the streets from joining the gangs that are destructive and non-productive, giving no value to the progressive development; except they are damaging .
Bwana Kidero can do better than this………!!! it is called Social Welfare Development…….
Cheers !!!

Hip hop artiste claims Kidero hasn’t paid for campaign song
Hip hop artiste claims Kidero hasn’t paid for campaign song
Saturday 8th June, 2013 on The Standard
Two artistes have claimed Nairobi county governor Evans Kidero has not paid for their work during his election campaigns. Victor Otieno better known as Juma MP or VBO and hip hop artiste Kisanya Peter aka Sinpare, performed during his campaigns before the March 4 elections. The songs included, Inawezekana na Kidero and Nairobi for Kidero.
The two artistes blame the governor’s former chief campaigner George Wainaina, who is now a top official in the governor’s office, of making it impossible to meet with the governor. “We had a gentleman’s agreement with Kidero during the campaign where he promised to pay us ‘properly’ as soon as the elections were over.
We were only paid performance allowances which are not enough to cover the cost of the song production,” Sinpare told The Nairobian. The artistes claim that the governor has been cancelling their appointments and has been reluctant to answer their phone calls.
“We spent so much money recording those songs and our producers are now wondering why we have not yet paid for studio time,” VBO told The Nairobian. Efforts to reach George Wainaina’s office for comment were futile as our calls went unanswered and our SMS text ignored.
Paris Jackson, the 15-year-old daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson, was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital on Wednesday after an apparent suicide attempt.
