Peter Agoro has filed a petition urging the National Youth Council to conduct elections for youth representatives as mandated by the constitution.
Agoro contends that the council’s purpose is to represent Kenya’s youth, enabling their engagement in the country’s socio economic and political development.
He argues that the failure to hold these elections has deprived the youth of proper representation, hindering their participation in national affairs.
According to Agoro, efforts to resolve this issue with the council and other relevant bodies have been met with unsatisfactory responses.
He criticizes the continued delay in conducting elections, asserting that it denies young people their right to representation and involvement in national development, thereby undermining democratic processes and the council’s credibility.
Agoro emphasizes the importance of regular elections in ensuring the Council’s legitimacy and accountability.
He argues that these elections are essential for appointing council members who can effectively address the current needs and aspirations of Kenya’s youth, as stated in court documents.
Moreover, Agoro highlights that the prolonged delay in holding elections has resulted in extended periods without adequate youth representation.
He asserts that this situation has significantly impaired the council’s capacity to effectively advocate for and address issues affecting young people.
In summary, Agoro’s petition underscores the urgency of conducting elections to uphold the National Youth Council’s mandate to represent and advocate for Kenya’s youth.
His legal challenge seeks to compel the council to adhere to democratic principles by ensuring timely elections that empower young people to contribute meaningfully to the country’s development.
