Youth in Tharaka Nithi County are calling on the government to fast-track the establishment of digital hubs in every ward and create more opportunities for meaningful participation in national dialogue as part of broader efforts to empower the country's growing youth population.
Led by Christine Gatiria while speaking during a youth empowerment forum held at Mpukoni, Magumoni Ward, the young people underscored the need for practical investment in youth development through digital literacy, access to technology, and leadership inclusion. "Let us be practical.
We need digital hubs with computers and internet access at the ward level.
Such centers will equip our youth with digital skills that are now critical in the job market," said Gatiria.
