The pervasive influence of social media has not only bridged gaps but also ignited concerns over the impact on public opinion. The alarming rise of misinformation and divisive narratives on platforms like Facebook and Twitter has given birth to a new battleground, where truth often struggles to prevail. Despite its potential for positive change, social media in Kenya is frequently manipulated to serve 'agendas', sowing seeds of discord among citizens. The rapid spread of unverified information has fueled mistrust in institutions and deepened societal divides. Beyond 'agendas', social media plays a pivotal role in shaping perceptions on cultural and social issues. It amplifies voices and sparks conversations, but the question lingers: Is it fostering genuine understanding or merely reinforcing pre-existing biases? It's crucial to critically evaluate the information we encounter. The responsibility lies not only with content creators but with every user to discern fact from fiction, ensuring that social media serves as a tool for informed dialogue rather than a breeding ground for misinformation. #Zuriel #DigitalTransformation #MediaLiteracyMatters #NavigatingSocialTruths #Kenya

#LongPostAlert This week in Kenya, the role of digital platforms in fostering public participation and governance has been remarkably transformative. A notable event is the ongoing Twitter space, hosted by Osama Otero on the platform, which has garnered over 1 million listeners. This virtual gathering aims to rally support for the release of a detained blogger Crazy Nairobian, showcasing the immense power of social media to mobilize the public and engage government officials directly. This event exemplifies how digital tools can create a direct line of conversation between the people and their government, especially appealing to the youth who dominate these platforms. The significance of digital media was further highlighted in the widespread opposition to the proposed Kenyan Finance Bill. Throughout the week, citizens have utilized platforms like X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and WhatsApp to organize and amplify their voices against the bill. These digital movements, driven by the people rather than government figures, illustrate a grassroots approach to advocacy and dissent. The youth, in particular, have leveraged these platforms to drive public awareness and participation, reflecting their critical role in shaping contemporary civic discourse. These events underscore the need to rethink how digital tools are applied in governance to enhance public participation. Digital platforms have empowered citizens, especially the youth, to organize, express their views, and demand accountability from their leaders in real-time. As digital technologies continue to evolve, their potential to foster transparent and responsive governance grows, making the voices of the Kenyan people, particularly the youth, more influential and central to the democratic process.

Africa still needs more soap in more places, more schools, more roads, more public buses, more…chicken, fish, eggs, sweet potatoes, vegetables, clothes, bicycles, houses, and did I already mention toilet paper? And now the young generation wants to be content creators, app developpers, and influencers? Who is going to make us soap and and lip gloss for those “watered” photo shoots? Or are you just going to skip the shower and use AI filters? The economies peddling apps and influencer culture are living on surplus infrusture. You still need milk for malnourished children. Can a few of you build apps and others go milk that cow? Or are you just going to continue living your selfie vanity life hoping to get more likes and build unicorns where goats haven’t yet grown horns? Just because you can see it on YouTube ( thanks to the internet) doesn’t mean you should do it. Do what benefits you and your community. Don’t be a copycat and give the world another reason to laugh at you while they mine gold from your own backyard. Wake up African youth!! #AfricaThatWorks!
