75% of the Kenyan population comprises the youth, who can change the voting profile of this nation. As one would expect that majority of the leaders would be young people, the situation is contrary. What is devoid is a craft that entails a focused strategy that appreciates the fact that leaders should have their well-being at the core. What is so depressing is the fact that during every election period, the politicians sing tunes that put the youth at the fore and have them believe that they will bring change that will have their interests prioritized.
It is even saddening that the youth are the enemies of themselves and would rather vote for somebody else other than one of them. They do not trust one of their own because of a fallacy preached by the old guards, of how the young are still establishing themselves and would mess up the country. This is a fallacy that should be discarded. This lack of faith and belief in their own has created a loop for the opportunist politicians who parade as the “young” generation, even when we know that they are above 50 years.
It’s high time the youth stand for the youth. Let’s support one of our own. The future that was talked of is now!!
