Remittances are good if you are helping retired parents and if the money is being used for their upkeep for things like food, medicines, hospital care, etc but what is increasingly happening is that you have a group of young, healthy, kenyans who have decided not to work or not to hustle and they are bothering their relatives with whatsapp messages all the time with their requests for money.
Ruto has many things to fix, but I don't know how he is going to fix the mentality of kenyans who have become lazy, drunkards, no motivation, no work ethic. nothing.
I've said before that if you are a young person in kenya and find yourself unemployed, it's time to seriously think about immigration (even to the middle east). They are too many young kenyan men in their 20's and 30's that are just refusing to work. And I keep saying that this social media craze is messing with their heads because they all think that starting a youtube channel or podcast where you sit on your ass all day talking about women is "work". 35 year old men who've never had jobs are just sitting around talking about women, sex, alcohol and posting it on youtube and calling this foolishness a "job" (35 year old men in kenya, I have concluded, have the intellectual capacity of maybe a 13 or 14 year old in the west)
This is going to be Ruto's biggest crisis in my opinion. How to change this lost generation of twats.
