YOUTHS AND LIFE IN KENYA

By: GLEN DON .      Photo courtesy. Youth is any person ranging from the age of 18 to 35 years old. This is according to the Kenyan constitution, " “youth” means the collectivity of all individuals in the Republic who have attained the age of eighteen years; but have not attained the age of thirty-five years." Article 260 of Kenyan Constitution 2010. This is what the Kenyan constitution interpret the youth to be and this age bracket is not universal as other countries globally have variable age bracket for youth. The youths therefore are adults though 'young' adults who since they have tickled the constitutional adulthood age of 18 years. These are the most critical persons in the Kenyan sphere or maybe and other parts of the world. In Kenya, whenever politicians stand up in crowds, their major concerns are youths. Ranging from job promise to health security promise. As a way of building the credibility, the politicians ink their goodwill promises in their...

Baada ya maandamano

BAADA YA MAANDAMANO. Imeamdaliwa: GLEN DON  Katiba humu nchini inaruhusu kuwepo kwa maandamano ila iwe maandamano ya amani yasiyo na uchochezi, ghasia wala uhalifu. Leo ni siku ya tatu ya maandamano tangu Mheshimiwa Raila Odinga kutangaza maandamano hayo kufanyika mara tatu kwa wiki mfululizo ikiwa ni; Jumatano, Alhamisi na Ijumaa. Maandamano hayo ni ya kupinga bajeti ya mwaka wa fedha ya 2023/24 na pia kushinikiza serikali kupunguza gharama na hali ya maisha magumu yanayokumba wananchi. Bwana Odinga anahisi kuwa serikali inafanya kazi duni kupunguza gharama ya maisha. Njia hii ya maandamano ilibuniwa na wanasiasa wa Azimio wakiongozwa na Bwana Odinga ili kufikisha ujumbe nzito kwa serikali. Tangu maandamano hayo yaanze, serikali haipinduki wala hawatikiswi, je tunaweza sema kuwa maandamano hayana ujumbe au ni serikali kichwa ngumu na haitaki kusikiliza malalamishi ya wananchi? Bwana Odinga ni miongoni mwa shujaa ambao walitetea sana hapo awali demokrasia, ustawi wa uc...

The Constitution or The Government suffering.

By: Glen Don Why High Court verdict on CASs post not a threat to the Government but it is so to the constitution This is not the first time a Kenyan Court has disallowed the Chief Administrative Secretary's post (CAS). The nullification began with the previous regime, that was led by Hon Uhuru Kenyatta as the president then. The post was created with no public participation done, making it unconstitutional. When Dr. Ruto assumed the presidency role in what was alleged as gifting the allies, he appointed 50 people to act as CASs in various Cabinets. William Ruto did nothing strange but continued with what was started off by his predecessor. This year, June, the High Court ruled against the appointment of the Chief Administrative Secretaries to various Cabinets.  In Kenya there are 22 Cabinet Secretaries but being that the number of people appointed to be CAS exceeded the number of cabinets by half, and this is one of the reasons why the CAS was invalidated by court. The three judge ...

WORLD YOUTHS SKILLS DAY

The world is marking Youth Skills Day. The theme for World Youth Skills Day 2023 is “Skilling teachers, trainers and youth for a transformative future”. Globally there is an estimation of 1.2 billion youths in the age bracket of 18-24 years, even though the age bracket for the youth is not universal and is subject to change according to each and every country this is according to UNESCO. Youths are special groups globally and therefore demands a lot of care while being handled. From my point of view, these persons deserve the special handling since at this stage is where they are maturing from their childhood and from this they are deemed to make decisions that may impact their lives in future negatively or positively, and the moment they mess up as early as such then the next generation after them is also destined to be in ruins.  The effort to make the future bright for these youths, therefore lies in the hand of the skills provider. Reflecting on the theme “Skilling ...
