To vote or not to vote!

Is there a need of having elections? What will it change to vote or not to vote?
A section of Kenyans have vowed not to vote in this coming elections,others are undecided whether to vote or not to vote.

According to a youth interviewed in local news segment "Monday special"in citizen TV,"voting isn't going to change anything,since the elections aren't going to be credible anyway?"

Another woman once told me "hata nkikupigia kura ntafaidika Na nini"
Such trends and answers are very worrying especially as young people!
The question would be how do we liberate ourselves from all this circus.
But do people understand the power their vote holds ?

Do they know that we have the power not the leaders? Article one of the Constitution talks of sovereignty of the people and supremecy of the Constitution,and that all the powers in the Constitution belongs to the people of Kenya.
If we refuse to vote this elections then we will give a Lee way and a guarantee pass to having bad leaders in!

Youths must realize that they have the power and it's their right to not only vote but to occupy those leadership positions.

There is a need for strong conversations to pick up,like why are we electing leader A for example,isnt because of their party,money,kingman's or by merit?
Is chapter six  ever considered in this country one will ask that? If yes then we should weigh and check the integrity of a leader before electing them?
Leaders are corrupt because we allow that,we must remember if you demand kitu kidogo you are definitely encouraging Corruption.
We have to realise we can use our vote to make changes by voting the right people.
We are worth more than the ksh.200 shillings,they offer.we have to wake up and take back our countries.
If we can't raise our voices then we need to support those who are raising it,
The time is now let's get up and defend this country,we have the power!
Boniface mwangi says that never tell a young man that it's impossible!

THE STRENGTH WITHIN

Gone are the days when women use to belong strictly to the kitchen,its high time the society wore a gender lens in addressing some of the emerging issues. Some utterances made by renowned leaders are quite heart breaking,for instance when the president of Nigeria says that his wife belongs to the kitchen,it depicts how the society at large is affected by gender blindness. Does it then mean that we are aware of the capabilities and skills women possess but we are in denial? Quite often the society uses the alibi that the girl child is overempowered but to what extent? There is a very huge need of implementing goal give of the SDGs,Gender equality.for example in some of the offices what is the ratio of men to women considering their post and influence in decision making in that company? Just like any other gender women need to be given chances influence change by including them and giving them full participation in decision making. In as much as we are in the 21st century we sti...
