Marry Christmas I would wish to send my Christmas gretingd to all of you then contribite to the wish list.I would want the CS to enable access to basic education through ICT and Media to children in Northern Kenya. Elimu TV would be a key partner in this area.

My Wish list request: Use and leverage technology to address Kenya's ticking time bomb of youth unemployment. I know we are all excited to see CS Mucheru and his team steering our country's economic growth and transformation using ICT. We can ask and also offer support to the CS. My company OPENWORLD LTD is willing to invest KES 120 Million into this project. NB: Roughly 70 percent of the Kenyan working age youth - almost 10 million people - are unemployed, although a surprising number are very well educated and possess the kinds of skills a healthy economy. Indeed, the key self taught skill for these working age youth are ICT via mobile. Joblessness among all people of working age is a serious problem in Kenya, but among young people, it is a catastrophe.
