A young graduate may fail to find a formal job and eventually turn to boda boda work.

That person is not necessarily “unemployed.”

They are working.

But the story tells us something about the labour market.

𝗪HEN FORMAL OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIMITED, YOUNG PEOPLE FIND OTHER WAYS TO SURVIVE.

Boda boda.

Small shops.

Farming.

Construction.

Casual work.

Online gigs.

Street vending.

We should respect the work while also asking whether people have pathways to more productive and secure livelihoods.

Many young people do not need millions to start.

Sometimes the first need is small working capital.

A machine.

A laptop.

A sewing machine.

A salon chair.

A welding machine.

A food cart.

A small stock of goods.

The problem is that even small capital can be difficult to access.

𝗖APITAL SHOULD FOLLOW SKILLS AND VIABLE IDEAS.

Young people need financial products that recognise the realities of small businesses.

Affordable.

Accessible.

Responsible.

And linked to markets.

The final message at the Global Leadership Summit 2026 by Bishop Dr. David Oginde was a powerful call to reflection—not just about leadership, but about who we are becoming.

“Reclaiming Values.”

To reclaim means something valuable has been lost and must be recovered.

Bishop Oginde reminded us that leadership has, in many ways, been robbed of its ethos. Leadership is increasingly seen as a pathway to power, pleasure and wealth, yet true leadership demands sacrifice, humility, empathy and the courage to stand for what is right—even at a cost.

From William Wilberforce to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Wangari Maathai and Nelson Mandela, history reminds us that transformative leadership is driven by values bigger than the leader.

The four things he challenged us to do stood out:

Rediscover what we treasure. Lead with discernment. Reorder our priorities. Reinforce our values through practice.

And then came the personal challenge:

Identify one practice you want to restore—something good you used to do, but stopped doing.

That question stayed with me.

Leadership is not merely about positions. It is about values lived consistently.

“Lord, deliver me from myself.”

The 2026 Global Leadership Summit ends, but the real work begins now: reclaiming the values that make leadership worth following.

Lead where you are. Serve with humility. Stand for what is right.

World Bank analysis indicates that about 85% of young workers in Kenya rely on informal work.

Think about that.

𝗧HE MAJORITY OF YOUNG WORKERS ARE OUTSIDE THE FORMAL EMPLOYMENT SYSTEM.

That means our youth employment conversation must include the people selling goods, repairing phones, welding, farming, driving, designing, cooking, building, coding and running small enterprises.

They are not invisible.

They are part of Kenya’s economy.

The question is how to help them become more productive, protected and prosperous.

Attended the Global Leadership Summit (GLS 2026), and one message from Craig Groeschel stood out for me:

“You don’t need more motivation. You need better patterns.”

Lead where you are.

Leadership is not waiting for a position, a title, or the perfect opportunity. It is about taking responsibility where you are, with what you have, and making a difference.

Better patterns. Better decisions. Better leadership.

We celebrate graduation.

Photos.

Gowns.

Families.

Congratulations.

Then reality begins.

The job search.

The applications.

The interviews.

The unpaid internship.

The rejection emails.

The silence.

𝗚RADUATION SHOULD MARK THE BEGINNING OF ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION — NOT THE BEGINNING OF YEARS OF WAITING.

We need stronger connections between universities, TVET institutions, employers, entrepreneurs and emerging industries.

A young person should leave training knowing not only what they have learned, but where and how that knowledge can create value.

Watu wananiuliza, “Jabatizo ni brother wako?”

Yes. He is my brother — not by blood, but by Christ.

“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” — Galatians 3:26

Some relationships are not defined by family names, but by the faith we share, the journey we walk, and the love we have in Christ.

My brother in Christ. 🤝🏽🙏🏽

When you meet your home church pastor at a conference, it feels like coming home—even when you are far from home.

A beautiful reminder of where God planted you, the people who prayed for you, and the journey He has brought you through.

“Now we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28

Some encounters are more than just meetings; they are reminders of grace, growth, and the faith journey we share.

What a blessing to meet again.

“Minimum three years’ experience.”

A fresh graduate reads that line and asks:

“How do I get three years of experience when nobody gives me the first job?”

𝗧HIS IS THE ENTRY-LEVEL DILEMMA.

Young people need opportunities to learn while working.

Apprenticeships.

Graduate trainee programmes.

Paid internships.

Mentorship.

Industrial attachments.

Entry-level employment.

Experience should be built through opportunity — not used as a permanent wall against young people.

10/06/2026

Unemployment has an economic cost.

But there is another cost:

Lost time.

A 24-year-old without an opportunity today is not 24 forever.

Every year spent outside productive work can mean lost experience, lost income, lost savings and delayed independence.

𝗧HE YOUNG YEARS ARE A CRITICAL PERIOD FOR BUILDING SKILLS AND ECONOMIC SECURITY.

That is why employment policy cannot only respond after young people become desperate.

It must anticipate the number of young people entering the labour market and create pathways for them.
