Approximately 800,000 young Kenyans enter the labour market every year and unfortunately the jobs are fewer than the people looking for them.
Joblessness has driven some people to the streets and highways in search of employment opportunities; graduates are now carrying placards begging for jobs.
Gilbert Mutai, an electrical engineering graduate, was the first Kenyan who took to the street carrying placard in search of a job.
Some two months later, Patrick Muthomiwas also seen strolling by side of busy roads holding a placard on which his credentials and contacts were scribbled.
And now we have the first female placard job seeker; Rakiel Kaoka has been spotted at a busy junction carrying a placard as she begged for a job.
Her situation is worrying since she has the looks and someone with ill intent could take advantage of her desperation and use it to their advantage, you know what I mean. Please help her get a job if you have any to offer, her phone number is 0711 633 191.
