NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 20 – Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has called for greater investment in young people, saying Kenya’s next phase of development will depend on its ability to turn freedom into economic opportunities for the next generation.
Speaking during the Mashujaa Day celebrations in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, Abiy said the country’s legacy of national heroes should inspire efforts to create jobs, strengthen public institutions and equip young people to shape the country’s future.
He said the meaning of freedom extended beyond the sacrifices made during the struggle for independence, requiring successive generations to translate those gains into opportunities for citizens.
