How the youth can step up for a better future of our nation

Undoubtedly, Joseph Tom Mboya remains one of the most admirable young founding fathers of our great nation. He reaffirmed to us that young people have the potential to make change, and one of his famous quotes that lingers in my mind every time I think about change by the Kenyan youth has been: “I have news for you, there is no superman (it’s up to us.)”.

At 30, I cannot agree more with young Mboya’s sentiments from six decades ago. As a youth, I bear in mind that there are many struggles young people undergo and in reference to the young Mboya’s words of wisdom, truly, it’s up to us to stand for the change we want.
