Information is undoubtedly power, trust me, I now know that more than ever. If you haven't met my acquaintance then it would be prudent to let you know that I started pursuing a law degree mid this year and am wowed each time the study of law presents a new element concerning governance, the constitution and much more.
Am now convinced more than ever that the solution to our current problems lies not in bulky strategic documents and dispensations of god knows what.
A change in the moral, social and cultural perceptions (simply put for me nowadays..Kukuza utu) and providing the much needed access to information are the two ways that for me provide a solution to our problems.
Do not let the ease of the phrase trivialise the meaning for you. Access to information not only involves making the said information available but also implanting its importance to the people whether they asked for it or not. It boils down to duty, to your country and fellow man
If you are reading this as a young Kenyan and do have access to information that will raise information for the masses share it out. If you are a youth seeking to make a change do not yap about out of sheer ignorance....seek for information...read.
And when you have the information synthesis it and share it. We are rightly called the information sharing generation by taking on that trait we may eventually be the force of change in this nation
Caucus and champion your MP on the Freedom of Information Bill that it may be passed into law.
