Kenyan youths and poiliticians


                                                   Kenyan youth and politicians
      As Kenyan youths we need to come out strongly and condemn malicious politicians for misusing their power and position to influence us in engaging in negative agendas that fulfill their own selfish goals during the coming elections. As Kenyan youths we all know very well what happened in the previous elections.
     During my years as a youth activist and community leader I remember being approached by politicians to manipulate and bribe the Kenyan youths to join forces with them in order to stay in power. I never once submitted to their demands and I together with others ended up suffering severe consequences, despite suffering harsh retaliation from authorities and the mungiki I never backed down because I believed that this was my calling from God and I needed to fight for the youth.


     It is high time the youths in Kenya stop being misused by some of our leaders who only want to get into or stay in power at the expense of Kenyan youths. When we go vote next year let us not vote for the leaders that we all know very well should be facing the icc yet they are  just walking free and still enjoying their political positions. And let us also not vote for any of the leaders currently facing the icc until their cases have been solved it is a shame that these leaders still have the audacity to ask for our votes.

    Let us give justice to Kenyans who lost their lives, we need true reconciliation with our brothers and sisters, we need to look beyond our tribes, gender, religious or economic status in order to build a better Kenya. Let us not allow politicians to influence us to fulfill their selfish agendas, maintain the PEACE.
