Governance and wound up because of massive exodus of the youth due to exclusion, intolerance and insensitivity. The results have been quite unpleasant. Many parents have been greatly disappointed by their children. At a time they concentrated on wealth acquisition, they overlooked the importance of laying firm foundations for them through education. Their children in turn have remained deficient of the necessary skills for wealth creation and protections making the vast majority of parents die within the first years of their retirement. It reveals that good retirement and investment decisions must be pegged on proper management of the youth. In order to perfectly scheme in life, individuals and organizations need to recognize the youth as the main assets. Give them good education, teach them life skills and be a better role model. In doing so, they will be properly equipped to make competent decisions in life. In deed many progressive organizations including ICPAK have resolved to reverse the trend by rolling out programmes aimed at tapping the youth into the mainstream economy and having the youth as the first agenda in their meetings. This is because the youth have been proven to be very active, loyal, flexible, hardworking and ambitious. Today’s youth are outward looking; open-minded, innovative, astute risktakers and are projected to live longer than their parents. Comparatively, many of the current generation of youth have an easy access to good education, better health and most of all, technology. By all means, this abundance of youthful exuberance should inspire hope for a better future. With the youth at the center, the going Religious organizations such as the Legion Maria and Holy Ghost churches are on the verge of extinction due to the dwindling youth population in their congregations. Political institutions have lost significant followings owing to their irresponsiveness to the youth issues and this has led to serious voter apathy in elections the world over. concern is guaranteed. Indeed ICPAK has a whole Committee to deal exclusively on youth affairs and have identified that the following will remain the major concerns as progress is made into the future: • Competent role models • Relevant skills and experience • Continuous professional engagements in challenging assignments. • Clear visions and performance measurement tools. • Tolerance and accommodation in decision making. • Recognition of efforts. • Strong welfare programs At Kenya’s independence the youth were conspicuously represented through the activities of Mr. Tom Mboya, former President Daniel Moi, Paul Ngei among others. This perfect blend of the old and the youth steered Kenya through a successful path resulting into Kenya’s food donation to famine stricken foreign countries in the 1960s. Indeed US President Barrack Obama was born out of such youth empowerment programs! As the aging continues let us think about the youth and the future and make a resolve on how best we should engage them to be more responsible in the life ahead and do remember that in this 21st Century, great leaders are not those who attract the highest of the votes, profits or influence but rather those who willingly strive constantly to empower the youth. Avoiding the pitfalls that had sunk such noble ideas is the start point, actualizing sustainable programs is everything. Thanks and may God bless you. 40 MARCH - ApRIL 2017
