Information Cabinet Secretary nominee William Kabogo, on Tuesday, January 14, pledged to engage more actively with Gen Z to address the recent trend of circulating images of leaders in coffins on social media.
During his vetting before the Committee on Appointments at the National Assembly Mini Chambers, Kabogo was asked about the measures he would implement to address the misuse of social media by the younger generation. In his response, he emphasized that engaging the youth on the ethical use of the internet would help reverse the current situation. "We should be thinking about engaging the younger generations, the Gen Zs, the millennials to have ethical use of the internet space.
Today they will be Gen Zs but in a couple of years, they will be parents," Kabogo stated. "The engagement should be such that if you put Kabogo in a coffin as is the case now, at one time they will be fathers like me.
How will they feel if their father is put in a coffin?
