YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
UNLOCKING THE LIMITLESS POTENTIAL OF KENYA’S YOUNG GENERATION.
Kenya’s youth are not just the future of our country; they are the driving force of our nation right now. Sifuna’s presidential vision centers on moving away from viewing young Kenyans as a liability to be managed, and instead treating them as a strategic asset to be empowered with tools, technology, and absolute civic freedom.
Our Values
We believe in generational equity, meritocracy, and inclusion. Every young Kenyan, regardless of their background or region, deserves equal access to economic mobility, institutional mentorship, and a seat at the decision-making table where national policy is created.
The Problem
Our youth are deeply marginalized by a system that locks them out of meaningful leadership and formal employment. They are stifled by punitive taxes on the digital economy, criminalized for exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest, and systematically excluded from access to affordable business capital and high-quality technical skills training.
Our Solution
As President, Sifuna will institute systemic reforms to unleash the power of Kenya’s youth:
-
A Seat at the Table: Mandate the formal inclusion of youth representatives across all critical government boards, state agencies, and policy formulation bodies.
-
Digital Economy Safeguards: Abolish punitive taxes on digital workers, content creators, and online freelancers to make Kenya a globally competitive hub for remote work.
-
Modern Technical Education (TVETs): Overhaul the vocational training infrastructure to align education with actual global market demands in tech, green energy, and advanced manufacturing.
-
Youth Innovation Fund: Replace existing inefficient youth funds with a transparent, corruption-free innovation fund providing grant capital and interest-free startup loans.
Key Takeaways
-
Civic Inclusion: Shifting youth from the sidelines of politics straight into executive governance roles.
-
Digital Freedom: Protecting online livelihoods by eliminating restrictive laws and digital over-taxation.
-
Practical Skills: Prioritizing job-ready, technical certifications that match the demands of the modern global economy.
