We mobilise. We stand up for our people,\u201d she said. \u201cHashtags are our biggest tools\u2014we use what we have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She emphasised that combating misinformation will be critical as digital platforms increasingly shape political discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Siasa Place\u2019s Trust Lab initiative, she said young activists are working across counties to counter digital threats and promote credible information using infographics, short videos, and community outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oluoch noted that the 2024 protests have already shifted how political leaders engage with young people, with increased caution and responsiveness from leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, she clarified that youth activism is not necessarily about replacing leaders but holding them accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can demand accountability without being in those seats,\u201d she said.<br>\u201cWe just want leaders to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education experts also highlighted the need to equip young people with leadership and critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. London Moore, Senior Director of Schools at Nova Pioneer, said Gen Z is increasingly aware of governance challenges and eager to drive systemic change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are tired of talk and false promises. They want systems that work and leadership that serves people,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She called for reforms in education to promote critical thinking, empathy, and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to teach differently if we want a different outcome,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants agreed that Kenya\u2019s growing youth population presents both an opportunity and a challenge for democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While digital platforms have amplified youth voices and enabled rapid mobilisation, speakers stressed that sustained civic engagement\u2014including voter participation, policy oversight, and governance involvement\u2014will determine whether current activism translates into lasting institutional change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe energy is there,\u201d Ndede said. \u201cThe task now is directing it into the right spaces so it delivers real accountability and systemic reform.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tabitha Oluoch, Youth Participation Champion at Siasa Place, said young people have leveraged social media to organise and mobilise
