Kenya

Gen Z have taken to the streets of Nairobi with mass protests that rocked the Kenyan government in recent years and led to multiple deaths. Kenya is a young country where 67% of its youth is unemployed, some of them feel that the new generation is not being listened to. Jonny Dymond chairs a panel fielding questions covering the deaths of women, inequality and whether abductions and killings in Kenya are part of the concerted effort from the state to supress dissent.

The panel:
Silvanus Osoro, MP. Majority Party Chief Whip (KNC), National Assembly of Kenya
Zaha Indimuli, Human Rights Activist, National Advocacy Lead End Femicide Ke.
Canon Evans Omollo, Provost of All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi
Martha Karua, former Minister of Justice, Opposition Presidential Candidate for the People’s Liberation Party.
