Between 2019 and 2020, over 200 billion has been misplaced in Kenya through different graft strategies. According to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the country loses an estimated 1/3 of its annual budget to corruption. In a nation where young people make up more than 75% of its population, it is our responsibility to revise the fight against corruption.
End Of Mandate Reflections | Africa Union Youth Envoy
It has been an honor to serve Africa’s youth as the first African Union Special Envoy on Youth for the past two years and to engage thousands of youth from around the continent and the diaspora, visit countless cities and communities to learn from brave and passionate young people, listen to their stories of agency and hope and explore how the AU can better support their crucial work. These are young people that I shared a cup of tea with at the many youth engagements, we cried together at the struggles we went through, we laughed and danced together, we shaped the Office of the Youth Envoy (OYE) into what it has become today, by “Shaking Things Up”.
