A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA BY STESSY NYAGA ON BEHALF OF DIASPORA YOUTH
green economic and social development as well as equipping upcoming generations with the
information needed to mould positive behaviours and attitudes.
Younger generations today share more common ground and a global vision of a sustainable
and prosperous future regardless of race, culture or nation. Corruption continues to be a growing
concern amongst us all. Kenya needs youth policies that pay critical attention to entrepreneurship.
We have been unable to access opportunities such as the promise to give young people access to 30
percent of all government contracts. We believe in vision2030 and It is unfortunate that government
programs established to tackle youth unemployment are not supported with sound policies to
ensure sustainability. The country requires comprehensive policies and programs that provide
training, appropriate skills, resources, and market support for youth. If policymakers can harness the
entrepreneurial ideas of young people in the country, they will be doing a service not just for the
youth population, but for Kenya at large. Untapped talent is being wasted in a time where there are
major reforms happening in agriculture, healthcare, education, security, governance!
Diaspora vote, we in Diaspora want to exercise our right to vote! It was promised that mechanisms
will be put in place to ensure that we in the Diaspora vote in 2017. We are apparently the largest
county and want to have a say through the ballot.
Remittances are currently high but this is at threat if the government do not engage with upcoming
generations and maintain patriotism. Simply stated, no country can remain prosperous and stable
without investing in its youth. Kenya must realize that there can be no long-term security and
development without opportunities for youth.
The Youth of the Diaspora Look forward to hearing a response from the President and witness
recognised youth representation in the Diaspora with active youth departments that opens a clear
channel of communication with the Government of Kenya. Together We Rise.
Thank you for your public service.
Sincerely
Stessy Nyaga
