Gen Z Storm Jesus Winners Church for Job Registration as CS Alfred Mutua Oversees the Exercise
Hundreds of young Kenyans, mostly from Generation Z, gathered at Jesus Winners Gospel Church in Nairobi for a job registration exercise overseen by the Cabinet Secretary for Labor, Alfred Mutua. The event, which went viral on social media, was part of the government's efforts to provide employment opportunities for jobless Kenyans seeking work abroad.
The registration exercise, which took place at the popular Nairobi-based church, was attended by a large crowd eager to secure job placements facilitated by the government.
Videos circulating online captured the massive turnout, reflecting the desperation and determination of young people in search of better opportunities.
The overwhelming attendance underscored the high rate of unemployment in Kenya, which remains a pressing issue despite various government initiatives aimed at job creation.
CS Alfred Mutua, who arrived at the venue to oversee the process, emphasized the government's commitment to tackling unemployment through foreign job opportunities.
The event aligns with President William Ruto’s administration’s agenda to create job pathways for Kenyans both locally and internationally.
Over the past few months, the government has been actively engaging in bilateral agreements with foreign nations to secure employment slots for its citizens.
The turnout at Jesus Winners Church was a testament to the demand for employment opportunities, especially among the youth.
Many attendees expressed optimism about securing jobs abroad, with some praising the government for its efforts.
Social media reactions were mixed, with some Kenyans lauding the initiative while others criticized the government for not creating sufficient job opportunities within the country.
The viral event also sparked discussions on the role of churches and religious institutions in community development. Many people noted that churches have increasingly become central venues for social and economic activities beyond their primary religious functions.
As the job registration exercise continues, it remains to be seen how many of these job seekers will successfully secure employment abroad. The government has assured transparency in the recruitment process, urging applicants to remain patient as they await further communication.
This large-scale turnout reflects the urgent need for sustainable employment solutions in Kenya, calling for continued efforts from both the government and private sector to address the country’s unemployment crisis.
