“We recognize unemployment is high, but there’s a mismatch between the skills young people have and the jobs the government promotes, like housekeepers or watchmen.” – Nerima Wako. Our educated youth deserve better opportunities.

“The National Employment Authority lists jobs like housekeepers and drivers, but young people are questioning the quality of these jobs and the sacrifices they have to make.” – Nerima Wako. We need to aim higher for our workforce.

“Even though we send resources from the diaspora back home, we aren’t seeing those resources having an impact on the economy.” – Nerima Wako. Diaspora contributions need to benefit the country more visibly.

“Kenyan workers in Lebanon are facing abuse, yet the government claims they refuse evacuation. The reality of their situation must be questioned.” – Nerima Wako. We need real solutions for our migrant workers.

“Meta has ignored court orders to compensate workers who are underpaid, overworked, and exposed to harmful content without psychosocial support.” – Nerima Wako. This exploitation cannot be ignored.

As our own democracy faces new cleavages, it’s time to learn from countries that have navigated democratic transitions and maintained resilience despite adversity. What can the U.S. take away from these lessons?

There’s much talk about the importance of democracy being at risk, but African nations have been modeling innovative approaches to democracy. Today, we reflect on their successes and what it means for the future of governance.

“Do young people trust the institutions that carry out elections? The answer is no. Trust in democracy is decreasing in Kenya, and I believe globally too.” – Nerima Wako. This highlights the urgent need to restore faith in democratic institutions.

“Does voting actually help? Many of our political parties lack active young members, and a lot of them are just ‘briefcase parties.’ We have about 95 of them at the moment.” – Nerima Wako. The challenge of youth political participation is real.
Center for Strategic Litigation retweeted
“We haven’t had a fully functional Election Boundaries Commission, and there are six constituencies that should have had by-elections. This raises serious questions about the integrity of our democracy.” – Nerima Wako.
Center for Strategic Litigation retweeted
“Kenya is politically charged right now, with many young people paying close attention to the impeachment of our deputy president. This wasn’t the case last year.” – Nerima Wako. Youth engagement is vital in moments of political change. #KenyaPolitics #DemocracyInFocus

“There’s growing angst among citizens because democracy has failed to deliver food, security, and, most importantly, justice.” – Samson Itodo. If democracy isn’t delivering these basic needs, how can we build trust in it?
Center for Strategic Litigation retweeted
“Citizens are frustrated because democracy isn’t delivering what matters most: security, justice, and basic needs. This failure is fueling disillusionment.” – Samson Itodo. We need democracies that serve the people, not just the elites. #DemocracyAtRisk
Center for Strategic Litigation retweeted
“One of the pillars of democracy is an independent judiciary, yet we see state capture of institutions meant to hold political leaders to account.” – Samson Itodo. Independent judiciaries are key to delivering justice and accountability. #JudicialIndependence #StateCapture
Center for Strategic Litigation retweeted
“At the heart of democracy is the people. But in Africa and elsewhere, democracy has become government of elites, by elites, and for elites, failing to serve the interests of the people.” – Samson Itodo. How do we reclaim democracy for the people?
