EoK Reports | Kimilili  Hon. Fred Joshua Makokha having a chat with Martha earlier today  Hon. Fred Joshua Makokha has once again demonstrated his hands-on approach to youth empowerment after successfully connecting and securing a job for Martha Ikehe, a young graduate from Matili village in Kimilili Ward, as an Assistant Co-Driver at the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). Martha, who holds a diploma in Electrical Engineering from Rift Valley Technical Training Institute, had been struggling to find employment for months. Her breakthrough came after Hon. Fred Joshua leveraged his growing network and influence to connect her with the opportunity—proving that practical leadership can open real doors for constituents. “This is what I mean when I talk about leadership that delivers. Martha’s story is just the beginning. I will continue pushing until more young people in Kimilili find meaningful work and dignity,” said Fred Joshua Makokha, who has declared interest in the Kimilili parli...

By Sebastian Karani, DMCP | EoK Editor  Kenya's Opposition Leaders forging an alliance ahead of 2027. In Kenya today, the political chessboard is abuzz with realignments. From a government branding itself as “broad-based” to an already Tried-and-failed opposition reassembling in preparation for 2027, one question remains unanswered and ignored, Where is the place of the youth? This is not just a rhetorical question. It is a cry echoing from the streets of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, and Kakamega places where brave Gen Z youth stood up in 2024 to demand accountability, justice, and inclusion. They protested peacefully. They demanded that the recycling of old, tested — and often failed — leaders stop. They called for job creation, transparent governance, and real representation. In return, some were abducted, others injured, and tragically, a few lost their lives for daring to speak out. Fast forward to 2025, the power games continue only this time, even louder and more exclus...

This generation, often referred to as Generation Z is stepping up, not just in protest, but in action. For many, the goal is clear: reshape the nation’s future through leadership, education, and empowerment. Following the protests that echoed across the nation, youths are now shifting their focus from the streets to strategy. Conversations are sprouting across different circles, from urban hubs to rural communities, where young people are determined to hold leaders accountable, starting with educating themselves and their peers on leadership and governance. The sentiment is unanimous: the success of any civic education efforts will ultimately be measured at the ballot box come 2027.

  In today's dynamic political landscape, young people are increasingly targeted for political manipulation. Whether through misinformation campaigns, polarizing rhetoric, or manipulation of social media, the youth are often seen as easy targets. However, it's crucial for the younger generation to recognize the importance of saying no to political manipulation and taking control of their own narrative. Firstly, succumbing to political manipulation undermines the very essence of democracy. Youth engagement in politics is vital for the health of any democracy, but when that engagement is tainted by manipulation, it distorts the democratic process. By resisting manipulation, young people uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and fairness in governance. Secondly, succumbing to manipulation perpetuates the cycle of division and polarization. Political manipulators thrive on creating rifts within society, pitting one group against another for their own gain. By rejec...

By the Specialized Politique Communique...✍️ Photo courtesy, Hon Raidon Munoko Press team. With less than twenty days to the Bungoma Senate by-elections, Bungoma Youths are still weighing their options on who to elect among the many old and young Candidates, all promising to provide platforms for the youths in raising their voice, expressing their desires and fulfilling their dreams? What matters for Bungoma Youths? It is difficult for one today to tell the interests of the young voters, many of them students in Universities and colleges, others new graduates hustling for opportunities while others spending their prime time in villages lacking tangible engagements to bring them food on the table. Many of this youths are talented in a way or the other but wasting their talents in local breweries for that is the best they can do as far as talent development in the county is concerned. With atleast three serious youthful Candidates on the Senate race, and one, Raidon Munoko's agenda...
