Welcome to the Inquiry with me Tanya Beckett from the BBC World Service.
One question, four expert witnesses and an answer.
It's June 2025 and the death of a 31-year-old teacher,
Albert Omondi Ojuang, in police custody in Nairobi, has sparked a wave of public anger.
His arrest, reportedly linked to a social media post criticising the police,
has become a flashpoint for wider unrest across Kenya.
But this was not an isolated protest.
This past year has seen a series of demonstrations reflecting growing frustration with the government's handling of economic challenges and governance.
Many Kenyans, particularly young people, have taken to the streets to express their discontent.
Their grievances range from allegations of corruption and police misconduct to a lack of opportunities when it comes to work.
The government claims it has a plan to boost jobs.
It wants to turn the country into a global hub for outsourced digital services,
claiming this would create one million jobs in five years through call centres,
coding and IT enabled work.
It's a vision inspired by the success of countries in Asia, such as India and the Philippines.
But could it work in East Africa?
This week on The Inquiry, we're asking, can Kenya answer the call for employment?
