Suspended between legality and invisibility: Young Kenyans without IDs live recognised by the Constitution but ignored by the system. As election season approaches, their futures—and votes—remain on hold. https://t.co/AmxnBq94E0

Paranet today facilitated a pivotal stakeholder engagement with Wajir's media fraternity, delving into negotiated democracy's profound societal influence. Key reaffirmation: The media's indispensable duty in safeguarding transparency and elevating citizens' perspectives. #Media
Community reflection in action: PARANET's high-level workshop in Wajir interrogated how negotiated democracy continues to prioritize clan loyalty over individual competence — weakening public services and eroding trust in leadership. The call for change is growing louder.
Listen to activist Hashim Elmoge from Wajir as he breaks down the ingrained system of negotiated democracy and its sweeping consequences for fair elections and effective governance

Powerful message from Wajir elders:
"High birth certificate application fees and lack of enough registeration offices deny children basic documentation. Without it, no school, no healthcare access, no future rights. Their demand — scrap the fees and establish enough offices."
Proud to have participated in the workshop held by ParaNET together with @NamatiKenya. Participants mastered movement building and messaging—vital for tackling barriers to national ID access, the essential requirement for voter registration and full participation in the election.
As Kenya approaches the 2027 electoral cycle, access to documents such as the National ID remains a critical gateway to constitutional participation, democratic inclusion, and the exercise of fundamental civic rights. #myidmyright
PARANET proudly participated in the 2nd Annual 2025 Wajir County Media Summit Dinner! Joining forces with journalists to promote peace narratives and community engagement—essential for protecting pastoralist rights. Ethical storytelling is key to peace and rights advocacy.
We conducted a digital literacy training workshop in Wajir for pastoral women. This session focused on equipping essential skills that will help them navigate the digital landscape. No one should be left behind in the digital world. #myidmyright
I just watched this video of a Dutch man, Elwin Ter Horst
Harassing a Kenyan police officer, even smearing snort on him, right inside a police station.
And it made me feel sorry for Kenya, not for him.
Be honest: if it was a black Kenyan doing that, would the police have stood there helpless?
Never. They’d have beaten him, maybe even killed him.
During maandamano they kill youths like chicken.
But look at him there ?
Our police have been made completely dysfunctional, humiliated by power, money and foreign privilege.
The police force has become a hire force, one that serves whoever pays, not the people.
And the saddest part is, that officer knew, if he fought back, he’d lose his job while the foreigner walked free.
My brothers & sisters , When I remember the Kenyans who were shot dead during protests, I can’t feel sympathy for this man.
The Jukwaa La Usalama forum in Wajir was a powerful platform for change! Our team passionately advocated for equitable citizenship documentation, discussing with government leaders the barriers marginalized communities face with digital IDs.#myidmyright
Our paralegal coalition engaging in a vital group discussions during the annual paralegal refresher supported by @NamatiKenya. It's a powerful moment of reflection, charting our progress and refining what we advocate for.
