Lets stop rationalizing crime. I was jobless for 2 full years and I never pointed a gun at anyone.
People turn to crime by choice.
You are likely one of those people obsessed with voting based on tribe thats why you cant handle being told the truth.
I am not rationalizing crime. I am telling the plain truth. Study after study has shown that in most societies, there is direct correlation between crime and unemployment. I do not need to rationalize. Its human nature
Its a simple equation really. Massive corruption costs jobs because it hinders investments.
Lack of jobs for the youth forces many especially those on drugs to seek other avenues for money. And this often leads to crime.
And in Kenya you have a youth unemployment rate of 60% which means there are about
8 million unemployed youth. If even 5% of these resort to crime, then a country is in deep trouble.
So you continue voting for tribal leaders instead of leaders who address issues like corruption, insecurity, unemployment and then see where it gets you.
At some point Kenyans must realize that they need to elevate the level of public discourse and start discussing serious issues at election time. At some point Kenyans have to start holding leaders accountable for issues like crime, unemployment, corruption etc.
I mean really. Is it more important to walk around without fear of being mugged or is it more important to have a member of your tribe as Prezzi ? Are you happy always fearing for your friends, relatives , children etc ?
