young people. soon nearly $300.00 apprentices will receive training at this center in the kenyan capital each year the german government is providing 5 and a half 1000000 euros for the project. german companies such as boston chronons are also supporting the training center they will benefit from a new pool of qualified workers and the young trainees can look forward to a bright future. the german president praised kenya's development into eastern africa's i t. the technology sector now accounts for $200000.00 jobs and 10 percent of the country's economy. it's a good start but not enough because each year 800000 young kenyans graduate from secondary school and need to find work. then it isn't mentioned and is the leader whoever wants to create a solid future for these people must teach them the skills they need to live and if

you mention without the skills young people will be lost in an unregulated job market without salaries so that's why attractive educational opportunities have to be created and so something. steinmeyer on his counterpart who kenyatta paid a visit to the institute of science and technology where kenyatta was eager to show his country's enthusiasm for vocational education star and mara praised his own country's dorji cation system that combines theoretical training with practical training at companies. he also made it clear that africa's continued economic development is in europe's own interest. as germany's hopefully if it can your encompasses about a 1000000000 euros let's talk about that with so little nico who's in robey. first of all why is germany so keen on pumping all that money into nigeria into kenya.

well kenya is basically basically germany's biggest trading partner east africa and it is the biggest economy in the region so what basically became clear over the last few days is that germany seems to see kenya as a stabilizing force in the region so for one thing they are there fighting terrorism for example in somalia and in kenya as well and they also like germany a refugee hosting nation so investing in kenyans and especially young kenyans and educating them is something that is apparently seen as something that will stop satellite as the region as a whole if there are good returns for investors what why isn't there even more interest from german companies is as far as the best ones and can you go. yes that was a question that was asked many times by several people here in kenya in the last few days and that was and so and german companies are still very german vestas are

still very hesitant about investing not only in kenya but in africa as a whole for an african countries and well i actually had a couple of answers for that one he said that that there needs to be more information about the situation on the grounds of people knew what was happening. on the ground is they wouldn't they may be more willing to invest and heat but you also said that there is a lack of skilled labor still in kenya and and in other african countries and also that that that there is. that that corruption and red tape are still issues and that's also something that people have with the kenyan president. and it's something that maybe that perhaps risk averse german companies companies might be. might see as an obstacle. like to be german business would like to be a 100 percent sure on their investments but is there anything here the germany could actually go in for. yes definitely i mean we saw that

time i have visited that i have which is basically one of africa's leading one of the leading innovation hubs and technology hubs in africa and one thing that you notice and one thing that became clear there is that a lot of innovations come out of the mobile money mobile banking market for example the mobile banking service and pessah has had an effect on the lives of many kenyans so they can install everything from buying their groceries to. getting a loan through mobile banking services so that is something that has also spurred innovation in other areas and that is something that at least the german president is aware is something that that germany is still lagging behind on and something that they would that germany probably needs to embrace in the near future the germans still love their cash you go there right they go thank you very much from nairobi. kenya the slaughter of don't heats he agricultural
