The 5th East Africa Community Youth Dialogue which was held on 31st October to 4th November took place in Kigali Independent University, Rwanda. Over 3000 applicants had applied for the same but only a few made it. Among the qualifiers were 6 Kenyans, two from Moi University; Gibson Kadenge from Main Campus and Opere Kelvin from School of Law (Annex). EAC consists of 6 countries, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan which was officially joined last month. All EAC countries were expected to attend but Burundi did not due to poor diplomatic relations with Rwanda.
This was an important event because EAC belongs to the people and it gives an opportunity to the youth to work and interact with members and EAC countries.
During the dialogue, Moi University was praised for their good job and acknowledged for representing Kenya well thanks to Kadenge and Opere. Following the theme of the Dialogue, “The role of the Youth towards electoral democracy” the two showed prowess in Youth and EAC integration.
The dialogue did not end in Kigali as Gibson Kadenge is set for the World Youth Conference which will be held in India from 12th-15th November. The theme of the
Kadenge takes this opportunity to promise comrades and the Youth at large to present Kenya well and encourages all youths especially Moi Varsity students to take advantage of such opportunities.
