There are several attempts to stem the unemployment disaster currently grappling the country from getting out of hand.

One legislator is pushing for unemployed youth to be paid a stipend of Ksh12,000 ($120) for three months months, and another pushing to reduce the retirement age of civil servants from 60 years to 50 years, which translates to approximately 25,000 people cutting their careers short.
