<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Three men attacked me as one of them kept watch. They punched my
face and hit me with a wooden rod on my neck and back. I kept telling them,
take the money I had but they did not steal anything from me. One of them even
told me, 'Hatuna njaa ya pesa.' They later told me that 'Embakasi iko na wenyewe',"
Eunice Wambui (popularly known as <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nyasuguta)
recounts her own terrible ordeal with goons who ambushed and attacked her when
she announced her candidacy for Embakasi South Constituency."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“We are seeing a dangerous wave of
electoral and other forms of violence. This, if not addressed, could jeopardize
women and youth participation in the electoral processes. This is a critical
year in our democracy. We must uphold peace and condemn all forms of violence,
said Kagwiria Mbogori, the Chairperson of the Kenya National Commission on
Human Rights</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Appealing but guttural, occasionally
brittle and taut throughout. That is how I would describe the tone of her voice
as she gave this statement. That is how I would describe the tone of over 300
women that came out on the streets to condemn domestic and electoral violence
if I tried.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We live in a country where the largest
chunk of the population is made up of young women between the ages of 18 and
35. Young women that are in school studying, at home taking care of their
siblings, older women running businesses, homes, even the country itself. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We also live in a country, in a
continent, where women are mostly viewed as vulnerable, fragile …sometimes even
weak. All a man will need to do is raise his hand as if to hit her and she’ll
run like Bambi from a forest fire to do whatever he needs her to. Yes. There
are the elite, the ones that have braved really bad storms to warrant them a
voice and an opinion in the public, but even then they are witch-hunted for one
reason or the other. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I’ll enlist help from ‘Gone with the
Wind’ by Margaret Mitchell to tell, in one quote, the story of one among every
four women in Kenya.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Life was not
easy, nor was it happy, but she did not expect life to be easy, and, if it was
not happy, that was the woman's lot. It was a man's world, and she accepted it
as such. The man owned the property, and the woman managed it. The man took
credit for the management, and the woman praised his cleverness. The man roared
like a bull when a splinter was in his finger, and the woman muffled the moans
of childbirth, lest she disturb him. Men were rough of speech and often drunk.
Women ignored the lapses of speech and put the drunkards to bed without bitter
words. Men were rude and outspoken; women were always kind, gracious and
forgiving.”</span></i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">That’s a piece that was published in
1863… 1863 people!! That’s 154 years ago! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I still can’t help but wonder how many
women in Kenya can relate with it today. How many young women read it just now
and felt like they knew those women Margaret was talking about. How many older
ones feel like they’re reading their own story?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Women that are running for public
office in this election; as Governors, Senators, Members of Parliament, Members
of the County Assembly or<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to represent
their own in the National Assembly. They are strong as iron, vivacious, sober,
objective and level-headed. With limited resources and a strong will they stand
in the political arena and roar in spite of the numerous poisoned arrows that
shoot their way. Women that believe they can lead a nation even though the
credit will go to the men, they can sing songs of freedom even though the tune
will be praised on the other party, they can fight even though the trophy is
likely to go to the men. These women are running for elective seats in this
election, against all odds and thank God, that they have a fighting chance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We have a great deal of young women
that are on the forefront advocating for free and fair elections. They are
supportive of other women that are running and men too. Their focus, is taking
the country forward. They have family dinner tables to set, children to clothe
and give medical care, they need water to clean, electricity to function with
ease and security for their bloodlines and neighbors. They will offer civic
education where needed, hold fireside conversations on politics and leadership,
read books about it, and then talk about it. They are all about exercising that
precious democratic right and having others follow suit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Exclusion of women and youth in
electoral processes engineered through violence and intimidation must stop.
Participation in electoral processes is a right not a privilege. Women
aspirants and leaders will not condone any form of violence especially during
this campaign season,” said Susan Mwongera, the CEO of Youth Agenda.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">All these women have two things in
common; they are leaving their own to help others take care of their own and
they are sick and tired of the bullies and their shenanigans. They are stepping
into the primaries, with faces brave and hearts stuck in their guts because it
is a culture, a way of life, in Kenya, for them to be sexually, physically,
emotionally or psychologically abused. And that’s actually a bummer. They hope
that they eventually make it to the general elections, and when they do, they
hope they make it out alive and well. Truth is any man or woman worth their
salt will not need to resort to violence to make their pedestal higher that in
itself is a loud and clear signal that something is sorely lacking</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">So when we
talk a Dada, we are talking a lady, a woman, a female (somehow our generation
got soot on this one) – we are also talking a queen, or a duchess, a countess, or
a peeress, a baroness, and ladies and gentlemen – even a gentlewoman is an
English word.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When we talk
a Dada, every single time it means a masterpiece created by God, also one of
the best things in the world. And in extreme cases, it can be the best word for
a male to take from an innocent sounding sentence and add an awkward, creepy,
perverted twist. Weird, of course.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">28 years old,
focused, passionate and self driven is the lovely Persil Telewa, hailing from
Nairobi County and pursuing the MP seat at Kasarani constituency. Peppered with
a light tone, she believes that youth and women should be empowered in the line
of development economically, socially and politically. “I want to tackle the
issues of unemployment by promoting vocational training, helping champion the
youth to start small enterprises and also promote education among the kids in
my ward,” She says. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Persil has
advanced projects in her constituency that aided and abetted development among
the youth and women. She has mentored many girls from all around and helped
channel older ladies to their lines of passion. She also initiated the
forgotten boy child initiative from the age of 18 – 35 years. “My mantra is,
when you see a challenge, that’s an avenue for you to be the change that you
want to see, since change begins with you, “she adds.</span></div>

Constituency.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

could it be the right time to introduce young blood in? I know of so many
government offices that you would find ladies, no offense, filing their nails
at 11am, just an hour after reporting to work. Reason being, the snail pace of
the public system has their department dragging on too. Do we need a reshuffle?
We have so many young people, with great ideas, leaving school and aiming for
the private sector which is also as dynamic as the graduates come. Would that
be of help to the public sector too? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span>? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This doesn’t leave the private sector that is

empower the Nation! </span></div>

been poor in chemistry but very good in basketball. Give me a lab and I will
never deliver, put me on a court and I will win you a championship. We should
be in a system that looks out for these skills in young people, and gives them
the opportunity to build something from them. To do their magic. Again it goes
back to how our system as a Nation .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Young people, we have a responsibility. To push on.
To keep hunting and gathering what we can then push on all over again. Find
something to do and do it. Believe in it then show it off. Yes, do it and put it
out there for everyone to see. Trust me (and I say this from experience), you
are exactly who and what someone is looking for. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use your social media accounts to promote what

blog and share it around. If you are an artist, put up the pictures on your
Facebook page. Same goes for sports - have someone take clips of your strongest
skill and make it viral. Pretty awesome in the kitchen? Share your recipes or
start a YouTube channel. Every employer we dream about is now on Twitter. Tweet
or DM them something about their brand. Participate in their conversations. Everybody

there’s no such thing as loitering with intent to commit crime (much to our

it will involve a futile chase, sometimes a night in the cell for mistaken
identity, sometimes a bullet may be faster than the negotiations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Someone once said, "expect the unexpected. A personality who brands himself as a racist, misogynist, and a sexist, is now fortified to be the 45th president of the free world, USA. Many right now would argue that US is not so free anymore.<br />

<br />
Donald Trump it is!<br />
A president known to have character defects and one who champions positions viewed as offensive to many,of course no one could take him seriously in this day and age, but guess what, our worst fears have been confirmed.<br />
The mainstream media around the world called him a clown, other movers and shakers called him the biggest joke of the year, hence there was no need to give him an ear. The media message was: Donald Trump cannot win,Clinton represents the America that we need.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well, all that was turned upside down, call it a slap in the face. Larry King revealed that Donald Trump had told him that he wanted to run for presidency, since 1980. Well 2016 was set to be his year to battle against all odds.<br />
For the first time in history, the mainstream media, political establishment, wall street and the polls projections couldn't be more inaccurate and wrong. The Clinton propagators seemed to be thriving on wishful thinking and were completely disconnected from the reality that was happening on the ground. It seems that the american people misled the pollsters by either giving them incorrect information about who is the more popular candidate. It's also clear that the political establishment is disconnected to the electorate's thoughts and feelings.<br />

</tbody></table>
A lot of questions remain as this upset has come to pass, not to mention that the stock market has been behaving in an interesting way since the announcement of Trump's triumph.<br />
<br />
Americans are angry. This vote demonstrates anger against the elite and the establishment and people are tired of it. Donald Trump will go down in history as the most controversial and flamboyant president in history.<br />
Now you must be asking the million dollar question, why on earth did the american electorate vote for this so called "sociopath" ? Well according to his supporters, during his campaigns, he would voice the thoughts of many the Americans of which they would not voice out in public.<br />
<br />

<br />
51% of the american voters supported the rhetoric of Muslim ban. He also appealed to the voters because of the way he spoke - he talked of issues that people talk about in the privacy of their homes. He is known to hate political correctness of which the Obama administration stood for in the last 8 years.According to the Breibart Website, he is known to "make the unsayable sayable."<br />
<br />
Donald Trump also influenced most of the american people by leveraging more on social media. Since the mainstream media had decided to brand him as an 'inappropriate presidential candidate' he chose to communicate directly to the people and tried to navigate his message around the media, though it was not easy.<br />
<br />
As much as he appealed to his supporters, Trump was a magnet for racism, misogyny and he managed to front his rhetoric.He struck a cord, hit a nerve with many of electorate who seem to be rubbed off the wrong way.<br />

</tbody></table>
The Russian media fell in love with Trump simply because for once, they had someone who wanted to create a relationship with them, not declare hate upon them, not like Hillary who was anti-russia.<br />
<br />
Hillary did not deliver her concession speech as it's customary of a candidate who has lost the election.<br />
<br />
Well, what can i say?This is a historic political earthquake and Donald Trump is now in to shake things up.<br />
Despite being unpopular with the media, wall street, Hollywood and donors, he managed to confound pollsters at every turn.<br />
<br />
Clearly this has been the most divisive campaign in history and as they say, things will never be the same again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04092180863554814891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628103731207031029.post-30769682029248395112016-11-03T05:18:00.000-07:002016-11-03T05:18:27.430-07:00WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP IN AN UNEQUAL SOCIETY<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A young woman vied for
a political seat in the last year’s general elections. Possessed with zeal and
passion to go after what she wanted, she knew that the road ahead would be
plagued with nothing but challenges of intimidation by the male opponents,
insults, not to mention, to the very point of extreme, physical violence. This
did not deter her though, for she had the nerves of steel as she was prepared,
armed and ready to take on anyone who tried to put her down. She calls for a
meeting to sell her brand and manifestos, only to have someone try to pull down
her skirt. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She postponed the meeting to be held in the next 2 weeks. As a
young, unmarried woman, she faced verbal abuse from her male opponents in
public. As if that was not enough, She faced harassment and hooliganism at the
polling stations. Honestly, someone else would not have gone that far. There
are many like her who are pursuing the dream of sitting with policy makers to
affect change in the country by averting the status quo, brought in by
political heavyweights who have overstayed their term.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The past political
leadership in Kenya has been characterized by none other than graft, status quo and tribalism. In the current dispensation, the same
crop of political leadership are campaigning on the platform of change, which
is outdated since that was what Jubilee government advocated for. Youth and
women, who make up the special interest groups have made up their minds that it’s
about time that they take the bull by the horns, if they want to see visible
and transparent economic development in the country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The road to ascension of
leadership for the special interest groups has not been easy for it seems to
the veterans that these special interest groups need a form of tough and ugly
initiation in order to “fit in” or “join the club.”The dominant political
parties in the region are making it hard for the special interest groups to
engage hence the need for lobby groups to push forth the agenda of increasing
participation for the special interest groups in the mainstream parties for
effective representation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Key obstacle that the
special interests groups face is the financial bit. The veteran opponents are
well moneyed and networked to the grassroots level while the youth and women
still have to figure out how to raise millions just to affect their campaign
strategies. These special interest groups have been met with violence for
expressing their desire to be political representatives. It’s clear that the
veteran opponents are ready to outline the battle of supremacy by cowing them
into silence lest they be brutally ‘punished.’ </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This experience thereby creates
apathy among the youth and women citing that no idle threats were made but a
promise to create chaos and confusion during their campaign period. Others have
resulted to selling their vote for meager returns due to the pounded ‘status
quo’ belief system that youth and women are simply not ready for political
leadership, whereas the opposite is true. There’s also lack of motivation among
the special interest groups or there are individuals who may have the answers
to the ongoing problems plaguing the country in terms of leadership, but they
chose not to bat an eyelid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s not exactly front
page news that young women (18-27yrs) are not interested in voting, attending
political rallies, protesting, blogging or speaking and debating on political
issues that affect the country. In young women’s minds, issues to do with
politics is mainly associated with men. They don’t want to be seen as loud
mouthed or politically incorrect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The VoteADada
initiative courtesy of the Youth agenda, Oxfam and FIDA couldn’t have come at a
better time. Its main focus is to address the reluctance of women to put
themselves forward as candidates let alone consider a political career. The
initiative also vouches for equal representation in positions of leadership.
One must be persistent, passionate and possess the nerves of steel if he or she
feels the call to a political office hence the need to train aspirants on
importance of equal representation and how to wade off or not to be shaken by
the challenges that comes with vying for a political position.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
campaign launched on October 13, 2016 attracted over 75 women aspirants in

areas of personal branding as well as best practice in manifesto formulation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
workshop also served as an avenue for women to highlight some of the challenges
they were facing at a peer-to-peer level. Some of these included the financial
inability of the candidate to support their campaigns over and above the late
entry into the political arena. It was noted that most women contenders
ventured into the political realm way too late and at the point where party nominations
had already been done. This put them at a great disadvantage despite their
popularity with the electorate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Additionally,
there has also been a stereotype among the general public that women are
perceived to belong in the kitchen. You may recall the recent utterance by the
Nigerian President </span><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Muhammadu</span><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Buhari with remarks to his wife that, “I

living room and the other room.” </span><a href="http://www.africanews.com/2016/10/14/nigeria-s-president-slams-wife-s-criticism-against-his-government/"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Read

the challenges highlighted were also self-inflicting. Case in point is where
women mistreat their own kind either at work, home or even business premises.
Later on they present themselves to these very people as hopefuls for elective
positions. More over the lack of understanding of the electoral process is also
a major hindrance in bidding for these political posts.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
These are the chronicles of Anna and her published works. A
humble, hardworking and innovative lady is born in a dysfunctional family that
is characterized by violence, alcohol and lack of tender, loving care from her
folks and siblings. Amidst all the chaos and drama that engulfed her
environment, she found a guardian angel in school who offered her a shoulder to
cry on whenever she was stressed due to the strange happenings at home. This
guardian angel came to her in form of her class teacher, who in her own right,
had investigated and found that her home was not a safe haven for Anna. She
Intervened and decided to take the matter to the authorities, which saw the
young Anna being taken from her home and then on, made a permanent home with
her aunty, who took care of her until she attained a law degree in one of the
most prestigious universities in Africa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anna, well aware of her background decides to delve in deep
research and write, exploring the home environment, trying to explore whether
kids are being taken care of and whether the parents are fit. As a brilliant
researcher and writer, she publishes many articles and papers on the topic. 2
years down the line she gets married to Joe, who insists that she needs to
change her publication name by omitting her last surname and including the
husband’s name. Owing her love and affection to Joe, she obliges, which spirals
to her losing the credibility in the world of publications. Some of the works
that she had penned down were considered not to be hers anymore because of her
changed surname.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anna is discouraged. She has tried to talk to her husband
about the issue but the husband has given her an ultimatum that if she tries to
revert back to her maiden name, she’ll get a divorce.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OsIc9L5GZls/WBcjHk13NDI/AAAAAAAAAUM/6pCVEzUFPMsJWXngR3oQ5QqyHHpZLgfTwCLcB/s1600/MARRIAGE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OsIc9L5GZls/WBcjHk13NDI/AAAAAAAAAUM/6pCVEzUFPMsJWXngR3oQ5QqyHHpZLgfTwCLcB/s400/MARRIAGE.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a dilemma that Anna and many like her are facing. A
man’s name changes not even after getting hitched to his significant other.
Should ladies, involved in academics, be forced to change their names in their
publications as far as marriage is concerned? Aren’t ladies also allowed to be
authority figures in their areas of specialization? Be that as it may, they say
“it’s still a man’s world.”</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is an issue that is experienced by women in the academia
but is seldom highlighted as an issue. There’s a solution. Take an example of
Janet Mbugua, a journalist working for Citizen is a good example to follow.
When she got married, she hyphenated her husband’s name after her two names.
Every work that she has published is still acknowledged under her new name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R178tfivUnE/WBcieEF3ZnI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/4w8lHqm6vmgNheVaGavSXZn0eQ5Pp8NUACEw/s1600/HYPHENATION.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R178tfivUnE/WBcieEF3ZnI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/4w8lHqm6vmgNheVaGavSXZn0eQ5Pp8NUACEw/s400/HYPHENATION.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So that a situation like Anna’s does not arise in future,
single ladies in higher learning institutions should be sensitized about this
contentious issue of changing names. Advocacy should be championed by women
who’ve made it in the publishing sphere of influence to encourage young ladies
to continue to publish even after settling down with a partner. Hyphenation of
a name after marriage is seldom known among the African women; hence the need
to spread the word on the issue; especially among the young, African women.</div>

<br />
The team and I had a great time trekking about and discovering Lodwar, though I must admit almost half of it was from standing at a point and looking off into the landscape ;-)<br />
<br />
My top things about Lodwar were:<br />
1. The weather<br />
If you love sunshine, well I'll tell you Lodwar is for you, let me tell you what that sun does to you is equivalent to spending the day at the Spa! I kid you not.<br />

This is the highest point in Lodwar, (it really isn't very high) but... the best part is they have their own version of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_the_Redeemer_(statue)" target="_blank">'Christ The Redeemer'</a> atop the hill. It's really what inspired us to want to go up the hill. If you want to go all the way up you better check with the catholic church first since they are the caretakers of the site<br />

4. The Basket Market<br />
The market covers a small area in Lodwar town but there is no shortage of lovely steals from this market. The Turkana women make the most beautiful baskets and woven crafts. From laundry baskets to friut baskets and mats you will be sure to find something just right for you.<br />

For my short stay, that was as far as my explorations led me, but I hear Eliye Spring and the Lake Turkana Beach are a treat, I'll be sure to visit next time<br />

Until the next exploration, stay fit and remember <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/VoteADada?src=hash" target="_blank">#VoteADada</a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I descended down to Lodwar Town, I can tell you for a fact I had no idea what to expect. All I had to go on were the statistics from the baseline we conducted and tales from other colleagues journeys. Before you ask me what I'm going on about, let me back up and start from the beginning.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year, Youth Agenda went on quest together with its partners Oxfam & FIDA-Kenya; as the 2/3 gender representation went raging on in the country, we sought to tackle the issue of underrepresentation of women through a different angle. We hoped to create space for the Kenyan woman to be represented through election; if women were elected to legislative seats we would not need to resort to back up plans to meet the constitutional requirement right? its brilliant! I know!</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Going over how to get equality in representation #VoteADada</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, your probably going to ask me why we are fretting about it if its as simple as that, or why are we even bothered with 2/3, heck I even get asked why we need to have women representation or better yet what have the women who are there done for us? I'm going to give you a few facts:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fact #1- Women are equal to men insofar as leadership is concerned</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now before you gentlemen chant 'off with her head' let me break it down. Traditionally we have different roles- boys herd sheep, girls fix up the home, in 2016- We ALL go to school. We are both socialized the same way, put through the same system and line up side by side at graduation so, see? Equal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fact #2- According to the Kenya Bureau of Statistics, women in Kenya are approx. 60% of the population, I think that alone warrants some form of representation where decisions are being made.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fact #3- In Kenya, 93.7% of men vs. 6.3% have been elected since Independence! That's 2,115 men against 142 women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fact #4- I have never, not once been asked why should I vote for a man (as opposed to a woman). I am a firm believer that we should vote for a politician man or woman based on what they can do for me and my community- tricky in this Kenya, I know but still I hold firm to that belief. However if in doubt and you truly want to compare please feel free to check out <a href="http://info.mzalendo.com/" target="_blank">Mzalendo </a>to find out what your current elected & nominated members of parliament have been upto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back to Lodwar, So we have this campaign to get women elected #<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/VoteADada?src=hash" target="_blank">VoteADada</a> which we launched in Nairobi back in August, now we were in Lodwar to launch in Turkana county. For those of you who know about Turkana politics, you know its not very gender balanced: There are NO women elected in Turkana county, No MCAs, No Senators, No Constituency MPs, No Governor, Nothing! The only person left to represent the women of Turkana is the County Women Representative, and if you have followed legislative proceedings, then you know that 1 representative really not a lot to go on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Based on that you probably think that the people of Turkana are fairly unreasonable right? I mean ONE woman? WRONG, as I mentioned earlier, we did a baseline in the county to find out they think of women in leadership- 85% of Turkana's are perfectly happy to vote for a woman! Well imagine THAT! For us this means the time is ripe to present women candidates to the electorate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On my way to Lodwar, I thought to myself, I maybe we can find one or two women seriously willing to take up the challenge, I couldn't have been more wrong! i didn't find one or two... I found 80! 80 women willing to step forward and represent their people and provide sound, good leadership. I must say my mind was blown... and listening to these women I couldn't help but think someone should shine a spotlight on these women and amplify their voices because we could all learn a lot from them. </div>

Their resilience, and hope & dreams for their community is a testament that women too can provide good leadership, and the burden for change they carry is akin to a mothers hope and dreams for their child.</div>

Since the 90's it has always been there but with time,it has not been cured but disseminated widely in different regions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to statistics; our country is one of the most corrupt this is due to power which affects everyone.This basically includes from rich to poor,corruption has eaten up approximately 65% of the Kenya's economy.What has really irritated youths like me, is the poor usage of funds provided by the government.Other than that lets look at the latest incidents that has happened in Kenya that is;Huruma tragedy after the downpour of rain that occurred last week on Thursday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This tragedy literally brought the economic development to a halt. This is because;money will be used up to compensate the victims affected by this event.At the same time lets look the main cause of this tragedy?CORRUPTION simply because,a few people feel they are willing to consume huge sums of money unfairly at the cost of millions of lives at a risk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This broke my heart to see the little babies and their family members helplessly being carried out of the rubble with dust on their faces and nothing could be done.Some were fighting for their lives in hospitals for the future awaits them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another occurrence that has led to so many lost opportunities, is the mishandling of funds within the government.Look at the Youth Enterprise Funds they literally have misused funds,this includes irregular tenders and the board self interest.This scandal has been going on for sometime and now,it trickles down to the youth being affected by just the top officials misusing funds for their own use. This is one of the reasons most organisations in Kenya are not acquiring donor-funding.It is very unfortunate for such events to occur,look at the youth who were hoping for little capital to start up their business enterprises and also those who needed that amount of money for farming per say.What happens to them?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This question keeps lingering in my mind,why do the top officials have to misuse funds yet the youth in the society need it more?For development to occur we need to FIGHT CORRUPTION and this starts with us,as the youth.I believe that INTEGRITY is being able to say no even when no one is looking,but unfortunately when i talked to a few of the youth they felt its a challenge.Their reasoning is ;if they are eating why not us?That caught my attention and made me realise how, power and leadership can really influence how the youth behave in their day to day activities.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For this disease to be cured we need to work together to stop it.A famous writer Ted stated that; <i>the most deadly disease is corruption and the cure is transparency.</i></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A recent survey conducted by Aga
Khan East Africa Institute sent waves across the country with its findings. The
gist of it, or what stood out the most was the fact that a majority of Kenyan youth
are okay with making money by any means provided one is not caught
should some of those means be illegal. From this conclusion, logic demands that
we keep the youth away from public funds as much as possible, if what is
happening at the youth development fund is anything to go by. But is that
really the solution to the erosion of our society that has pervaded our young
minds?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 150%;"> I think not. Perhaps the solution lies in allowing the youth to have a
significant voice in how they are governed. This can only happen once young
leadership is taken seriously in Kenya. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Below are a number of reasons why it is
of paramount importance to immerse the youth in the governing processes of the
country and most especially the leadership.</span></span><br />
<b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: -0.25in;">A
delicate balance between idealism and realism.</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 150%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Young people from teenage hood to
early adulthood tend to be idealistic. They recognize the problems facing the
world and they have grandiose often unrealistic ideas on how these problems can
be solved. Youth who have attained the age of vying for elective political
positions are bound to have attained a certain level of realism that would
allow them to formulate and contribute to the laws of the country. Older people
tend to lack some idealism which dims the political will to introduce change
since they tend to accept things as they are. Young leaders will offer the much
needed delicate balance between the two extremes of idealism and realism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">

people are more receptive to change.</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A lot plagues our country from
graft, to poverty to bad leadership. Young people tend to be more flexible as
far as initiating and adapting to change is concerned. They refuse to accept
the status quo especially if it is retrogressive. There is no doubt that a lot
needs to change in the way we govern our country for the sake of all Kenyans.
Who is better than the youth to advocate for their fellow young people and
initiate the rest of the country into an era of good, reliable governance.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">

are the best poised to address issues affecting the youth socially,
economically and politically.</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">No one understands the issues
affecting the youth as much as the youth themselves. Older people may argue
that they were once young hence they are just as equipped to address youth
issues. Unfortunately, this claim is not entirely accurate. The older
generation and the younger ones are living in different circumstances and facing
very different challenges especially socially, politically and economically.
During President Daniel Arap Mois' regime, young people in universities had a significant
voice in political matters. Perhaps they had a greater vested interest or
political will. It is for this reason that more young people need to get into
political leadership so as to make other young people politically vested.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Young people have an easier way
of communicating with one another. Should more youth get into leadership
opportunities, young innovative Kenyans may feel more at ease about approaching
the government with their innovations since they know that their young
representatives will give those innovations the excitement and attention they
deserve. The youth also tend to be more open to technological strides. With Kenya’s
intent to become a digital nation, taking advantage of youth leadership will be
to everyone’s advantage.</span><br />

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

policy making particularly in issues that affect them such as economic
policies, education and health; when viewed in perspective, you realize that
youth are affected by every facet of nation building. Through inclusive
leadership we allow for different strategies in dealing with the youth as

involving the youth now rather than later allows for consistent action in
fighting against graft and adoption of strong leadership practices by the youth
which can then be passed on to future generations.</span><br />

social and economical as all these issues are intertwined in ensuring the
sustainable development of a country and its ability to compete with other
middle and higher income countries.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kenyans need to stop talking and
simply act in involving the youth in leadership. The youth also need to rise up
and demand for space in the country’s leadership instead of waiting for the
opportunities to be handed to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The national youth
policy (2006) of Kenya defines youth as between 15 to 30 years. The majority of
Kenya’s population falls in this gap. Youth in Kenya are talented in sports,
the arts and entertainment. The youth unemployment problem is on the increase
as Kenya’s universities churn out thousands of graduates each year.
Realistically, the number of graduates produced every year cannot be absorbed
into the labour force of Kenya. This seems to be the development dilemma every
government faces.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the coming in of
the Jubilee government in 2013, the jubilee manifesto focused mainly in
investing on the youth through improvement of education, infrastructure, and
access to opportunities such as SMEs for the youth. However, most of the
policies proposed are yet to be implemented 5 years on. The unemployment levels
are on the rise as more youth engage in crime and drug abuse as a result.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many youth engage in
talents that is earning them respect from their peers and self-employment. The
jua kali sector is a great example of young people using skills and talents to
create employment opportunities. Young people are coming together to form bands
for example Hart the band, Sauti Sol, Elani among others who use their musical
talent to create their own employment and help others coming into the music
industry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Talent is inborn and
can also be developed as a result of passion and interest. Other developed
nations for instance the United States of America encourage the development of
talent potential that eventually drives the economy. Many young people for
example in the United States are in the acting industry and earn millions
through film production and acting. Education is important and is the foundation
of key skill development. However, Talent cannot be overlooked in skill
enhancement and development in developing countries such as Kenya.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Africa needs to focus
on developing of talents for sustainable development. A talent does not cut off
creativity rather enhances it and the youth have a lot of energy that can be
put to good use. For instance many graffiti artists are making a living off
painting public service vehicles.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If we put this into
figures, it results in huge percentages of profit for government. Many families can afford healthcare, better
housing, access to education, food and eventually overcome poverty. Talent
development will ensure that the crime rate is reduced as more young people
will receive an incentive from using their talents in a positive way to enhance
their lives and those of their families.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Talent no doubt drives
innovation which leads to sustained livelihoods and economies. There have been
innovations in ICT, healthcare, mobile money,among others and still others are
coming up. Talent can so easily be used to train others for example ladies who
engage in basket weaving, or making of bags and other accessories as a talent
can train others hence we have a self-sufficient society and community.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The government needs to
create talent development </span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;">centres</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> for young people to share knowledge and train
others to have a self sustaining nation that will drive economic growth through
talent development. There needs to be encouragement of talent development over
employment. After all not everyone can be absorbed into the market. The
alternative plan of action will therefore be to have talent developed and
managed properly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A system of integrity
needs to be built to ensure good governance of talent management. There should
be a policy on the youth to guide on the institution that will manage the youth
affairs in Kenya.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Reason being people clear vegetation cover and put up buildings for own usage, the misuse of mineral resources for consumerism.Death of aquatic life due to poisonous gas being emitted in the atmosphere.Timber being used for construction of houses thus lack of tree preservation.A huge population of people who of course cannot live on an empty stomach need food and this is a challenge to agriculture due to misuse of land resources.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now lets ask ourselves the effects of climate on our youth and women?</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<li><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>Dependency on natural resources as A source of living,evidently more women and youth are turning to Agribusiness because of lack of jobs and also as a way of supporting family members.This can be hard at times because of climate change.</i></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>Women are vulnerable in that;in the African Context, they are seen to be performing house chores thus most did not get a chance to get education.</i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It has also led to more poverty since,</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> the lands are drying up the water is not there for domestic purposes.</span></i></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>It has largely contributed to low productivity of food since, climate change has affected crops and has led to death of livestock to due diseases.</i></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>Cultural restrictions lead to lack of capacity for women, to access information on how to take care of their crops and animals.</i></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>Increase in Maternal deaths this is because,due to climate change there is higher chances of malaria to spread all over the country.This pregnant women can not afford mosquito nets and after contracting malaria the immune system becomes weaker and therefore they end up dying.</i></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>The harsh climate can lead to not being able to work because of disease affecting the body.Youth who are said to be the pillars of the nation now find it hard to work because of the different diseases.</i></b></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><i>WHAT CAN BE DONE THEN?</i></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Come up with trainings and create awareness to the public on the hazards of climate change.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Avoid overexploitation of natural resources that is deforestation,air pollution,and many more.In essence take care of the environment.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Minimize on the usage of electrical appliances.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Adapt recycling methods because this prevents more pollution in the environment.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Avoid processed foods go natural at least eat planted crops this processed foods lead to cancer.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We could go on and on but let me leave it here...lets work together to stop CLIMATE CHANGE</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With the first of its
kind forum initiated last week on Friday 22<sup>nd</sup> January 2016, student leaders
from various varsities and colleges in Kenya gathered at Moi University Nairobi
campus for training and discussions on how well they can influence the youth
they represent in terms of leadership and governance of this country. This has
come at a right time as more youth need to engage and participate in leadership
and governance of this country because the future of the youth is in their
hands and as such need to participate in shaping it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As we want to see more
youth in leadership and governance and the next general election is approaching
fast, these student leaders from various varsities and colleges in Kenya should
move with haste in influencing the youth foster achievement of the country’s
vision through good governance and leadership by engaging them to take up
leadership and governance positions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This kind of forum
avails the student leadership with a platform to engage industry players and at
the same time giving the young leaders an opportunity to enhance their leadership
skills through the training that these leaders will be going through.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The student leadership fraternity
of Kenyan Universities will benefit and go a long way in enlightening these young
leaders in our country in terms of the Country’s values and ethics and instil a
sense of duty. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The role of a leader is
not to rule but to guide and empower the people that they lead, leadership is
about giving and empowering others other to be to the level where they are
strong enough to lead a valuable life. This forum is a step in the right
direction and at the right time where we need to see the role of the youth in
leadership and governance as of paramount importance, in achieving good
leadership and governance in a fair and transparent manner.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Back in the days when
women had no voice and all they could do is be subjected to men, be constrained
to household chores and so forth. Due to women empowerment they have been able
to stand up for their rights and also run for seats in Parliament and their constituencies.
The Law states that; women should be given equal opportunities, as men furthermore
they are faced with challenges. I will state a few such; <b>as lack of financial stability;</b> in that they do not have enough funding to run for a seat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Secondly<b> lack of support from fellow women</b> ;truly
the writer of this quote was not wrong when he stated <b>"women are their own worst enemies".</b> Reason being, women tend to create a certain rivalry amongst
each other and forget that they need each other in all aspects of life. If only
women could support each other in what they do, then as a Nation we would be so
ahead in terms of development. If we look at recent success stories of Women in Arabic Countries, they are now
running for seats and winning because of the massive support given by their
fellow women.Statitstics has shown that, approximately 52% of Kenya mainly
consists of women population 47.1%being registered voters. Unfortunately they
do not vote for their own fellow women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Thirdly the <b>Culture effect</b>; this basically talks
about the patriarchal society. We have been raised to view women as second to
men. This perception that men are the only ones who rule, at the same time this
has affected our young women who would want to lead our counties they cannot
simply because of cultural influences per say.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Fourthly <b>perception that women are fragile</b>; sometime
last year there was a joke going round, that if women rule the world there will
be world War III. It might seem as a joke but if we keenly look at the negative
side of the joke, it is abit sad and absurd to see that women are perceived that
way in this time and age more women are trying to prove the society at large
wrong. A good example would be Professor Olive Mugenda the Kenyatta University
Vice Chancellor, she has proven to be very strong and self driven hence
establishing a better foundation for the University. The late Professor
Waangari Maathai was another influential and inspiring woman in the society, she
stood her ground and because of that she was able to conserve trees for the
future generations. When I look at this two examples they leave me to wonder what
about a thousand women what can they do?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Lastly <b>lack
of equal opportunities</b> this is very evident in the African Context whereby
women are not recognized. The Kenyan law has highlighted clearly that, women
should have 2/3 of representation in all leadership positions which is being
acted upon.At the same time it is not equal everywhere when it comes to
other jobs, men are given jobs which are perceived to be masculine at the
expense of women. This is because they are believed to do the job better, which
is not true nowadays women equally perform tasks better than men themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In conclusion we need
to support women in their leadership positions.</span></div>

You can start a small business and within a short period of time you are earning more than you can imagine.Meet Brian, a 21 year old student at St. Paul's University who is passionate about machines, well according to him machines are like "toys"(chuckles).I have been working around the clock to make this innovation come to life.Fee has been a challenge to pay, thanks to our ignited minds we are where we are now. For a few semesters I had to drop out luckily I resuming this semester.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was amused by how well he and his colleagues sat down and created an application,which can be easily used by so many youth to check what events are happening,movies showing on Cinema and many more.One day we sat down and thought this application can give us money, since we had an innovation club at St.Paul's University we launched it.A few months later we went to Safaricom, after keenly looking at our application they offered to take us in and pay us a good amount.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Ever since that magical moment my life changed fully.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I realized that, you can create your own job opportunities you do not have to rely on the white collar jobs.I believe everyone out there has an innovative mind be it entertainment,technology,it all sums up to one thing,the youth are very brilliant and they can do so much if they put effort into it he concluded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well we can see that we have so much creativity and knowledge but we do not put them into use.It is how you look at it that matters.Go for it there is nothing too difficult to achieve.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have a look at KenyaMax Beta On play store.This what Brian and his friends came up with,you can also like their page on Facebook <b>KenyaMax</b> and look at what they have been doing.YES YOU CAN!!! Always remember you can do wonders by utilizing your ideas.Stop Wishing start doing!!!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04092180863554814891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628103731207031029.post-82214193829172207382014-10-21T05:40:00.001-07:002014-10-21T05:40:08.842-07:00KENYA URGENTLY NEEDS A NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

implementation of the same in some areas like Kibera, is welcome and a move in
the right direction. The increasing youth bulge, increased unemployment,

Kenya hence my total support for the well thought out NYS stategy. </span>

Secretary Ministry<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Devolution and Planning Ms Ann Waiguru on
Cheche Citizen TV last week Wednesday 15<sup>th</sup> October 2014 on NYS and
whose focus is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on socialisation,
promoting civic competencies and instilling discipline, it is evident that this
new strategy will not only empower the youth but transform our society by
2030.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The service men as she referred to
them will have a great opportunity to be the pillars at the county level but
only if they instil the same values and skills to those that they will be
mentoring. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif";">Well managed, this is a venture
all tax payers should be happy about and support since it will contribute to
Kenyans economic growth. If 6.7 Billion can be generated from NYS annually, the
youth of Kenya will make a name in the history of Kenya. And yes they will do
it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif";">As i further listened to the
Cabinet Secretary, she also indicated that the National Leadership and
Entrepreneurship Strategy will replace the National Youth Policy which was due
for review in 2013. Having gone through the strategy, noting the need to have
one policy strategy and guided by the governments priority in the 2013-2017
Medium Term Plan, i believe there are other key issues affecting young people
that should be incorporated in a youth policy that are not necessarily a matter
of leadership and entrepreneurship. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif";">The success of any youth policy
is the responsibility of the entire society and should be <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>document that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>represents a holistic, integrated and coordinated approach to youth
development which luckily <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was the
President commitment in April 2013 when challenged by youth on why his
government did not consider having an independent youth ministry. The
government through the Ministry of Devolution and Planning should therefore unpack
the leadership and entrepreneurship strategy through the public policy process that
allows for extensive engagement with stakeholders between government, Kenya
Young Parliamentarian Association, County Executives responsible for youth, youth
organisation among other key individuals or organisation. The strategy for
example does not state which approach will be used to address the alarming drug
addictions, reproductive health issues such as early pregnancy among young
women and rural to urban migration among others. Moreover, the policy should
also clearly define the mainstreamed approach to achieving the youth agenda and
similarly have clear affirmative action frameworks and programmes guaranteed in
article 55 of the Kenyan Constitution. The national leadership and
entrepreneurship strategy in its current state will not sufficiently serve as
Kenya’s National Youth Policy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Honestly we are doing more harm than good. Remember before devolution we spent
months and months saving up for fare and life in the big city? Because we had
limited access to resources that would render us more financially stable
through jobs in our rural settings. But all that changed, I’d like to believe. Every
day for as long as I can remember there are at least five jobs on the classifieds
being offered by the county governments; yes; the very counties we are running
away from. So we are in a desperate situation in which we have all flocked the
big cities, with no motivation whatsoever to max on funds set aside for us, no
proper housing, no proper sanitation (perfect recipe for health constraints by
the way), no source of income and a myriad of other problems.<br />

We are so quick to pack up and go because we have this insane misconception
that there is automatic employment as soon as we touch base in the big city. I
hate to be the bearer of bad news but whoever told you that that is the
situation lied! Guess what? An analysis of hands-on data indicates that the
counties with high rates of urbanization such as Kisumu, Nairobi and Mombasa
tend to have higher levels of unemployment. That is the sad truth. And yes,
urbanization equals employment but for how many of us? How about grass root
development which is a whole lot likely to give a large number of jobs, and in
the comfort of your ‘home’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We leave so
many opportunities in our hope to live the dream without necessarily putting
into consideration the burden that it bears. We need to give our best shot in
exploiting the opportunities that we are presented with at the county level. Let
us turn them into blue print plans for developing our counties and possibly be
the revolutionary youth who paved unlimited employment opportunities for
consequent youth by getting rid of factors necessitating this rural-urban
movement craze that has landed us in a lot of trouble. In any case, charity
does begin at home, right? Human determination comes with it an unbridled resilience
that liberates us from being victims of consequences. That is why success
stories are bred from corners we once deemed impossible. What’s your story? Go
back home and start from there. Leave no stone unturned guys. Remember the
grass is NOT greener on the other side; the grass is greener where you water
it!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04092180863554814891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628103731207031029.post-60706180338628926262014-10-08T00:48:00.001-07:002014-10-08T00:48:34.745-07:00No experience, no job; no job, no experience<div style="text-align: justify;">

we know the job market today, it is a prerequisite of sorts that one must have
some experience if one is to stand a chance at a job vacancy; the irony , right? In its most
absurd demand, the experience is often a minimum of two years. So what happens
to the fresh, well-skilled and learned scores of graduates released into the
corporate world each year? They end up adding on to the already unmanageable and
rapidly growing unemployed section of the demography.</span></div>

that stands though, finger-pointing has never worked to this great country’s
advantage. So solutions need to be suggested, evaluated, decided upon and
implemented. <br />
Many youth organizations (such as the Youth Agenda, the UNV and many more) are on
an impactful volunteerism hype, especially following this year’s International
Youth Week during which volunteerism was largely preached and defended to be
the best possible way to acquire the experience that all employers seek in

devolution, it seems most favorable that volunteerism programs have a lot of
potential to reach far and wide. As such, we would like to call the county and
national governments to join forces in initiating and implementing volunteerism
programs at county level and to come up with a legal framework to rid the
programs of malicious exploitation which strains volunteerism in the world
over.</span></div>

really, we look to better the youth’s means of livelihood, since they already
know that we have their best interests at heart, then let everyone under whose
jurisdiction youth matters fall, work towards promoting volunteerism among the
youth as a means of gaining experience prior to employment.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Being in a position where every piece
of information regarding the Uwezo Fund is at my every beck and call, I am guiltier
than most of you are regarding the staggering and somewhat dismal uptake of the
same. The fund has been set up for you. Correction; YOUth. Yet somehow, we
still have all manner of excuses to justify our complete lack of enthusiasm in
as far as tapping into the fund goes. We want to cry day and night, that this
country has no jobs for us; that it is virtually impossible to earn a decent
living; to make good money that goes far, far beyond basics and upkeep and that
accessing the Uwezo fund is an extremely difficult process. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So, I went about my research to get
tiny bits of relevant information to compile into a juicy document that will
not bore you with regards to language and format. I compiled it and figured
that the following really is all you need to know about the criteria that deem
one legible or illegible to access the fund.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KrDOSwd_co8/VDKguornnXI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/GCi8-1LomWU/s1600/Unemployment%2BMeme%2B6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KrDOSwd_co8/VDKguornnXI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/GCi8-1LomWU/s1600/Unemployment%2BMeme%2B6.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
Uwezo fund has only four conditions that we have to adhere to in order for us
to be able to access it; top of the list is that we have to form groups (and
for crying out loud, how hard can that be?), thereafter we are expected to register
the groups using relevant government institutions (this is only so basic and so
out rightly a necessary requirement whenever doing anything official so let’s
not whine about that one), the groups need to be composed of members aged
between 18 to 35 (because that is the age bracket that has you deemed as a
YOUth in Kenya) and operate a table-banking structure or any other group fund
structure where members make monthly contributions. That wasn’t so hard now was
it? I’d like to think that this entry gives you hope and motivates you to apply
for the fund. The youth are an obvious priority to the Jubilee government. And I’m
not just saying that; remember their manifesto and the actualization of the fund? Or
how about the 30% public procurement for the youth, women and persons with
disability? So the facts are in their favor, we should strengthen ourselves by
taking advantage of the opportunities presented to us.<br />
I feel like they have done their part by availing the funds the final bit is
for us to apply and grow ourselves. Besides, you can put food in a baby’s mouth,
its decision to chew and swallow is solely dependent on it, right? Have a
fruitful week fam! <br />
See you on the UWEZO side!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Image sourced from Google images</i></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">On mental illness, there is much that we do
not know. There are the more severe kinds that require you to be in hospital
taking jabs of all sorts of medicine and then there are the daily occurrences
that hardly have us thinking twice that we could be suffering from mental
disorders and/or illnesses. That tiny tantrum you threw this morning for
absolutely no reason or that massive mood swing you had because your sugar dish
ran out…or how about that bout of cursing you did because you sent the baby of
all typos on that text to your boss…or how you just loooooove ‘comfort food’;
that <b>could</b> be a sign of a mental
disorder, a startup symptom so to speak; the irony that is life, right?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">There’s more than the average range of mental
disorders that are mostly known to us. These include the likes of anxiety
disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, impulse
control and addiction disorders, personality disorders, OCD, PTSD, adjustment
disorders, dissociative disorders, factitious disorders, sexual and gender
disorders, somatic symptom disorders, tic disorders, dementia or what is now
commonly known as Alzheimer’s Disease just to name a few, most of which you
thought were normal occurrences that one could attribute to weather changes ,
changes in diet, sleep patterns, bodily functions etc, right? WRONG!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">So journey with us for the rest of the week
as we give you insight on exactly what all the above mentioned could be. And
learn why you mustn’t take any for granted because, I hate to be the bearer of
bad news but even Alzheimer’s starts with very mild or negligible symptoms that
we deem normal. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">It is also very important that we familiarize
ourselves with these disorders not only for ourselves but even for those around
us and the people we love. I have read heartbreaking stories of people who have
had to take care of their loved ones that have unfortunately fallen victim of
mental illness that could have well been avoided. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">Not only for purposes of prevention but also
so as to understand victims of those really-hard-to-manage diseases in a bid to
build tolerance and courage to face.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">I’m no doctor, but I know how to gather
information, how to manage it and share it. Trust me, you’re better off knowing
than not. Besides, information IS power, right? </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">Welcome aboard! </span></div>
