Paying attention to youth talent will nurture, grow the Arts

As the curtain falls on the 54th edition of the Kenya Schools and Colleges Drama Festival in Mombasa one cannot help but reflect on the rich milieu of art and how the young artistes beaming with energy and unlimited creativity expressly raised many societal issues including, tribalism, alcoholism, drug abuse, terrorism, equality, equity, gender concerns, fair resource allocation, devolution, the fast approaching Millennium Development Goal deadlines, corporal punishment and infidelity just to mention but a few.

What was of particular delight was to see the face of the future of this nation call things just the way they are without regard to bias, tribe, religion or any other social affiliations.
