The youth have been challenged to take an active role in the running of the country by voting and seeking leadership positions.

This was emphasised during the launch of a national youth manifesto dubbed 'Manifesto Yetu' at the Catholic University of East Africa where it was revealed that young people hold less than 7 per cent of the country's elective positions despite making up 75 per cent of the population.
