Former Othaya MP Mary Wambui was appointed the chairperson of the National Employment Authority for a term of three years, to the disappointment of KOT.

Her appointment comes barely weeks after SportPesa laid off over 400 youthful workers.

Wambui is not the only 'Youth ' working in Uhuru Kenyatta's government, others include

1. Moody Awori - 91

On December 6, 2018, President Uhuru was forced to defend his appointment of former vice president Moody Awori as a member of the Sports, Art and Social Development Fund Board.

Kenyans have taken to Twitter to show their anger over the not so youthful appointments.

Below are some of the reactions.

@allen_arnold: Someone said Mary Wambui is approaching her second menopause and I lost all the ability to can. You can't be insulting fellow youths.

@allen_arnold : If being stupid was a crime, I would be serving a 15-year jail term. How TF was I convinced to vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta on 26th ati ni birthday present? I failed this nation! Never again!

@Moha001_Onyango: Mary Wambui cannot even construct a simple sentence in English but has been made the Chairperson of Employment Authority of Kenya... How will she chair the board meetings?
