Ruto called the deal a win-win, saying that Kenya's demographics meant that it had hundreds of thousands of young people in need of employment opportunities. However, contrary to the claims made by the Kenyan government that 250,000 Kenyans will be allowed to work in Germany, Germany insists that the pact does not state the exact number of Kenyans who would be allowed in the country and also said the deal would only allow qualified workers to apply but “without a right to remain.” ----- #DWAfrica #the77percent #rutomustgo #financebill #kenya #williamruto #kenyaprotests # ----- 77 percent of Africans are younger than 35.
