Details

Many of the decisions makers of today were students before. With the current boom in educational establishments in Kenya it is even more likely that the number of academics in top-levels of political decisions making will increase in the future. Therefore it is important to involve the students in the political development process. They need to be empowered on the best approach in participating in their own development. Since the devolved system recognises the Principle of Subsidiarity, with an informed citizenry, the students can emerge as multiplier to promote participation and democratic values in their closer surroundings and motivate the people to take part at their own political and economic development.

In this regard, we plan to engage the students in the simple ways and approaches that empowered residents can use as a team to advocate and lobby their elected leaders in participating and inclusion in key sectors of their development organs as provided by law.

These approaches are purely non-confrontational and directed to mutual understanding, cooperation and public consultation for the benefit of all the players.
