🇰🇪 From Kenya’s national interest to constitutional governance, sovereignty, development choices and youth agency, CMD-Kenya’s #KijanaJitokezeUwajibike Intergenerational Dialogue brought diverse perspectives and meaningful exchanges to the table.
With insights from Amb. Julius Okara and Awori Achoka, authors of Reclaiming Our Sovereignty, participants reflected on what national interest means to them, the importance of human capital investment and the role of young people in shaping Kenya’s future.
At CMD-Kenya, we are building spaces for intergenerational learning, informed dialogue and meaningful youth participation in Kenya’s democratic development.
A heartfelt thank you to our facilitators and all participants for enriching the conversation.

🇰🇪 #KijanaJitokezeUwajibike
Today’s conversations pushed us to look beyond elections themselves. The political culture we want in 2027 is being shaped by what we practise today, how we compete, communicate, organise and respond to differences.

Youth Building Bridges – From Dialogue to Democratic Action
The Inter Parties Youth Forum (IPYF), supported by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) through the WYDE Political Parties Project, is convening young political leaders and aspirants from Nakuru County and across Kenya .
Neil Omondi Armstrong: You should believe in your manifesto as a leader and sell your agenda to Kenyans, just like in the by-election in Ol Kalou #CitizenDayBreak
Chris Ojode: Things will be different in 2027 because the youth will come together, like they did during the 2024 Gen Z demonstrations. Raila would have won in 2022, but there was voter apathy. There have also been independent candidates in previous elections #CitizenDayBreak
🇰🇪 To the young people of Kenya - this one is for you. Today, we celebrate the millions of young Kenyans who continue to show up, speak up, and contribute to the realization of Kenya’s multiparty democracy and the values enshrined in our Constitution.
