The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) has called for a strengthened partnership with the government in supporting vocational training as a way of addressing joblessness and hopelessness among the youth.
Newly consecrated Bishop of Mt.
Kenya West Diocese Gerald Muriithi said the church and government need to work together in addressing societal vices such as escalating crime, addiction to alcohol and harmful drugs that are slowly ruining future generations. "We need to keep encouraging our youth to take up technical courses aimed at supporting themselves and the community.
The government needs to sponsor the young people to acquire skills and in doing so, vices, including alcohol intake, will decline," he said.
