As Kenya enters the voter registration period, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has rolled out a nationwide exercise urging all eligible citizens—especially young people—to register as voters. For the Gen Z generation across Kenya, Makueni County, and Kitise Kithuki Ward, this is a defining moment. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about power, participation, and purpose.
In Makueni, many young people have been at the forefront of civic movements, voicing their frustrations about unemployment, inequality, and underdevelopment. In Kitise Kithuki Ward, youths continue to express their desire for better infrastructure, access to clean water, and more livelihood opportunities. Their energy and innovation are unmatched — but their influence can only be fully realized when they translate their voice into votes.
In recent years, Kenya has witnessed the tragic loss of young lives during demonstrations, where calls for justice and economic reform turned into moments of sorrow. These events remind us that lasting change is achieved not through chaos but through civic participation — through registering, voting, and choosing leaders who embody integrity, vision, and commitment to the people.
The Gen Z generation in Makueni and Kitise Kithuki Ward must now seize this opportunity. Registering as a voter is the first step in reclaiming their power and determining their future. The leaders they elect will decide how resources are used, how education is strengthened, how health and water systems function, and how employment opportunities are created.
“The time is now. Don’t let others make decisions for you.
Step forward, register as a voter, and be part of the change you want to see.”
Let the youth of Makueni and Kitise Kithuki Ward lead by example. Let their registration turn into representation, their dreams into policies, and their energy into lasting transformation.
Your voice matters. Your vote counts. The future begins with you.
