President Uhuru and PSC must consider youth in their appoints of CSs and PSs..

There are few things the government needs to look into without necessarily compelling interested groups to seek legal redress as pertains appointments.
1. The requirement of 15 years experience before one can be appointed Principle Secretary is discriminatory to the youth of Kenya and is against the spirit and letter of Articles 27, 55 and 56 of the constitution. With the 15 years' experience requirement the earliest one can be a PS is at age 42! Minimum age of joining college is 20, 4 years of an undergraduate, 2 years of a masters degree that is also a prerequisite, then 15 years working experience 5 of them must have been in top management!
2. In the same spirit and letter of article 27, 55 and 56 among other provisions, the cabinet appointments as so far witnessed have no youth as defined in the National Youth Council Act of 2009, Article to 260 of the constitution of Kenya and the National Youth Policy of 2007.

The President and Public Service Commission (PSC) must ensure that these provision of the law are met in the remaining appointments of PSs and CSs otherwise this trend will precipitate a court action and its also bad for the image of the government.
