The emergence of social networking sites like Facebook have provided a very effective tool for communicating your agenda, networking with others in your constituency and monitoring your leaders to ensure that they accomplish the tasks you set out for them.
The thing about Kenya is that we have the ability to become the ‘Silicon Valley’ of East Africa and beyond.
Our young people are educated, energetic and have innovative ideas.
Unfortunately, they have often taken a back seat when it comes to taking charge. Now is the time.
You have the numbers to guide change, the desire to fulfil your goals and the opportunity to grow this country for yourselves.
Do something!
