{{President Uhuru Kenyatta has strongly emphasized that human capital is the one-most important asset necessary for East Africa’s eventual success, saying that young people in the region need to commit themselves to work.}}
He said this in front of a huge crowd of mainly youths at the fourth edition of Vision Group’s Pakasa Forum in Kampala.
The Kenyan leader, who is the current chairman of the East African Community (EAC), delivered a keynote address before answering questions from the crowd inside the Kampala Parents School auditorium.
The questions were diverse, touching on pertinent issues, including unemployment, education, economy, public service, transport, and many more.
Kenyatta first met with his host, President Yoweri Museveni at State House Nakasero before making his way to the venue. The two leaders, together with their South Sudanese counterpart, Salva Kiir, held talks ahead of an upcoming meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, Kenyatta said.
He arrived at the venue at 1.20pm local time under stifling temperatures. The venue was provided for free by its proprietor Sudhir Ruparelia, one Africa’s richest men.
