So ,all of us have heard about Gen Z , also known as Generation Z, so who are these guys, These are individuals born roughly between the late 1990s and the early 2010s. Their characteristics often include being tech-savvy, socially conscious, independent, and diverse. They're known for valuing authenticity, preferring digital communication, and having a strong entrepreneurial spirit. According to Project Ether, a report published in April 2024 by Siasa Place (https://lnkd.in/dm93zU4U) This category of youths identified lack of access to connectivity ( electricity and Internet),Taxation of gig work and access to capital to start business as some of the main challenges they face in pursuit for meaningful work. These are issues that directly point to the governance systems, both at the county and national government. But ,how well do they understand the governance system in Kenya and how well do they understand devolution. That's what Kakamega Youth Assembly an Initiative of Youth Driven Solutions To Accountable Governance(YSAG) Kenya seeks to understand.Tomorrow at 8-9pm we listen in to the conversation of GenZs via X Space, led by one of their own Dion Wandera, Youth Assembly Member from Mumias East , constituency.
