“New Guideline, If you are Hosting an event in Langata venues and you don’t give our young people a chance to work at you event, that event will not happen! Carnivore, Uhuru Gardens, Nyayo stadium, and any other venue in Langata! 50% of jobs must be from Langata Youths ama uende ufanye event kwenu!” Jalango wrote on his official Facebook page.

A good number are also telling the embattled Member of Parliament that these business are privately owned, and that the owners hire who they would like to work for them.
“Jalas. These are PRIVAT BUSINESSES you can’t dictate how and what they do. Ati events won’t happen? Try and meet in court. The best thing you failed to do was to reject the Finance Bill which you unfortunately supported.”

“Reckless and very insensitive.kenya has out grown such demands.work hard and create opportunities Acha vitisho.whats the balance BTW what businesses the events bring as compared to people the events employ.” Another Facebook user said.
