Throughout Kenya, the streets are alive with voices echoing a collective demand for a more accountable, transparent, and responsive government. This is not merely a passing wave of discontent but a potent reminder that aspirations of our youths are intertwined with the destiny of our nation. This surge of determined young Kenyans, many in their 20s has stunned, gripped and inspired us, and shaken our nation's conscience. They remind us that the promise of independence of a nation where justice and prosperity reign is yet to be fully realised. “Democratic space" did not only mean political rights but a platform for citizens to freely express their ideas and aspirations without fear.
