The youth Agenda

 

I was privileged to attend the Murang’a Student Association's inaugural event yesterday. I was amazed at the number of young leaders invited to the event. Murang’a deputy governor Hon. Stephen Mburu Munania, Murang’a county woman rep Betty Maina, former Roots party deputy presidential candidate Justina Wamae, Charles Karondo, Kiambu county speaker Hon John Njiru MCA Hospital Ward in Thika, among other members of county government of Murang’a. Without forgetting the M-CUSA nation chairman Pharis Jane. It was good to see presidents of various campuses and leaders of multiple associations unite to celebrate one of the important associations in the Mt Kenya Colleges and Universities Students Association.

It was a successful day when the new leaders were sworn in, and the mantle passed peacefully by the outgoing team. What amazed me the most was how the leaders spoke passionately about the youth solution. I must single out Hon. Justina Wamae for speaking on the solutions to the stigmatization and oppression of young people in our country. She called on youths to keep unity and embrace each other as the only way to success. I must also thank the Murang’a Deputy governor for so many actions they have put in place to ensure that the youths participate in their government. He also spoke passionately about the youth agenda and said he would push for more in the coming years.

Betty Maina (Woman rep) also encourages the young leaders to remain vibrant and keep their eyes on the ball. She promised to give a platform to the elected leaders and support them in delivering on their mandate. Of course, so much was said, and from afar, I saw very vibrant leaders of TODAY and Tomorrow. When my time came, I did not have so much to say. I had a message for the young professionals. Instead of languishing in depression because of a lack of jobs, they should be creative. As youths and young professionals, we should be as creative as possible and develop ideas for making money. After that, youths should form registered groups and seek funds from the government. In such a way, we will partner with the government to create employment for others and build the nation together. I want to take this chance to wish the newly elected executive all the best in their tenure.

The Indomitable Spirit of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the Fight Against Illicit Brew

Image
When Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua takes the stage, be it in churches, public forums, or any gathering, there’s one battle he fights with unwavering passion: the war against illicit brew. This isn’t just a talking point for him; it’s a mission close to his heart, a crusade to protect the lives and futures of countless Kenyans. Two years ago, as the current government came to power in 2022, the pervasive menace of illicit brew was a dark cloud hanging over the nation, especially in the Mt. Kenya region. Illicit alcohol was everywhere, wreaking havoc on families and communities. When President Ruto handed the reins of this daunting task to Deputy President Gachagua, many scoffed, including seasoned political analysts. They called it a suicide mission, pointing to the powerful and wealthy mafias behind these dangerous products. The risk to Gachagua’s political career was immense; taking on these formidable foes was akin to walking a tightrope over a pit of vipers. But Gachagua isn’t j...

A Political Fall: The Rise and Fall of Governor Kawira Mwangaza

Image
 My heart goes out to the former Meru Governor, Hon. Kawira Mwangaza, who faced an untimely and unfortunate impeachment in the wee hours of 12:00 a.m. yesterday. It is almost as if the timing was meant to add insult to injury, as though her political opponents couldn’t wait to see her fall from grace. Being a woman in the male-dominated political landscape of Kenya, Kawira always had the odds stacked against her, especially after she emerged victorious against a Meru political giant in 2022. This wasn’t just her first rodeo with the Senate; it was her third impeachment hearing, having narrowly escaped the noose twice before. But this time, her political rope frayed under the weight of charges that, frankly, seem weaker than a cup of tea made with a used teabag.   The grounds for her impeachment, gross violation of the Constitution, gross misconduct, and abuse of office, read like a list of sins conjured up in a hurry by an eager prosecutor. Violating the Constitution by di...

Impeachment Rumors: A Desperate Attempt to Silence Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua

Image
  Lately, there have been rumblings about impeaching Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. But let's get real—who's behind these calls, and what exactly are they trying to achieve? The timing is suspicious, coming right after the opposition joined the government. It raises a plethora of questions. Are there hidden agendas at play? If these individuals are serious about impeachment, they should act quickly! The nation deserves to know where President Ruto stands regarding his loyal deputy and the commitments made during their campaign. This talk of impeachment appears to be a tactic by certain factions within the government to stifle Deputy President Gachagua’s advocacy for the interests of the Mt. Kenya region. Let me make it clear, FIGHTING FOR THE REGION DOESN’T EQUATE TO NEGLECTING THE REST OF THE COUNTRY . The Deputy President’s dedication to Mt. Kenya is about ensuring fair representation and opportunities, not fostering division. Those pushing for his impeachment seem thre...
