Most youth consider Agricultural production as a poor mans job. Two years ago, i worked as a farm manager. My greatest headache was to find suitable youth to employ for various production activities.

In the locality where i worked, youths would leave high potential land to go to work as bodaboda riders or matatu touts or just play Ajua in the market centers.

The youths who were available could not concentrate on the work, they were always demanding for more money!

In the area, there was a shortage of milk, vegetables, eggs, maize, fruits yet nobody was willing to invest in these areas. Whenever it rains in Kenya, this is the first area to receive rainfaill.

Huge farms amounting up over 10 acres were left to old feeble parents to cultivate.

Furthermore many young girls around the area had dropped out of school and were having babies if not, pregnant; to compound the matter-single and searching desperately.

How can we expect our country to translate to middle income status if this is the persisting scenario?

Hey Wazuans out there- Say something!
