Seventeen months after security forces killed at least 60 protesters demanding accountability, hundreds of young Kenyans have intensified calls for civic space protection and an end to state repression.
The defiant gathering Thursday at the Kenya School of Government concluded the sixth Good Governance Festival, a two-day convening that brought together young activists, policymakers and governance experts under the theme "Amplifying Our Voices: Inclusive and Accountable Leadership in the Shrinking Civic Space."
