The Makueni Civil Society Network and Kiambu Network, along with the media, held a training session in Wote on Thursday to raise awareness about the role of youth in combating corruption within County Governments.

Daniel Mutunga, speaking to the media, explained that these two organizations have been collaborating since 2022 to address issues related to devolution, procurement, transparency, and accountability. He emphasized that the initiative aims to enhance the capacities of local civil society organizations (CSOs) to fight corruption, encapsulated in their slogan, “Tupigane na Ufisadi.”

Mutunga noted that citizens are becoming more aware of social accountability, as evidenced by their increased participation in public forums. “We have achieved a lot in informing society because they now come out in huge numbers to ask what they need,” he stated.

James Mungai, a youth representative from the Kiambu Network, remarked that citizens are now more engaged in scrutinizing auditors’ reports and questioning budget overviews.

Christine Wamaitha, representing young women in the media, expressed concerns about the lack of inclusion of women in discussions surrounding budget execution and resource allocation. “Women have not been fully embraced in matters of the Constitution, but we thank Tisa for valuing our voices,” Wamaitha added.
