Elected leaders and senior government officials have been warned against demanding monetary payments from desperate youth in exchange for job opportunities.
Nominated Member of Parliament, MP Bishop Emeritus Jackson Kosgei, said it was despicable for leaders and senior government employees to ask for money from desperate job seekers to secure employment.
Bishop Kosgei said demanding Sh500,000 to Sh600,000 from job seekers to be employed as a teacher or forcing parents to sell land to buy a job for a child in the police force or the military was tantamount to robbing the poor. "Let us not extort the poor and instead be fair to all, irrespective of their status in life," said the cleric.
